Andy Jassy is set to replace Amazon founder Jeff Bezos as CEO later this year.
While the move may be a natural step for Jassy, it s a giant leap for Amazon.
The end of the Bezos era could mark a crucial and overdue turning point for the company s culture.
Last week, after 27 years of delivering world-changing surprises to the masses, Jeff Bezos, the founder and chief executive of Amazon, emailed his employees with another bombshell: He was stepping down. Fellow Amazonians, he began. I m excited to announce that this Q3 I ll transition to Executive Chair of the Amazon Board and Andy Jassy will become CEO.
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos will transition from CEO to executive chair and pass the reins to Andy Jassy, a 24-year Amazon veteran, later this year, the company announced Tuesday. Though not as public a figure as Bezos, Jassy is an accomplished executive in his own right having grown Amazon s cloud segment, Amazon Web Services, from its inception into a $45 billion business and the company s biggest moneymaker. Now, he will take over leading the broader company as it builds on a year of massive growth caused by the pandemic. Andy is well known inside the company and has been at Amazon almost as long as I have, Bezos wrote in a letter to employees Tuesday. He will be an outstanding leader, and he has my full confidence.
