Amazon s Andy Jassy.
Incoming CEO Andy Jassy isn’t likely to make big studio moves but has built ties with Hollywood while running the tech giant’s web services division.
You’ll have to forgive anyone in Hollywood whose response to the Feb. 2 news that Andy Jassy will replace Jeff Bezos as Amazon CEO was, “who?”
An Amazon lifer, Jassy spent nearly two decades running the Seattle e-commerce giant’s highly profitable cloud-computing division, a role that hardly put him in a position to rub elbows with the creatives making films and TV shows for Amazon Studios. But Jassy’s appointment to the CEO role, which will take place during the third quarter when Bezos becomes executive chairman, should have little impact on the company’s entertainment business, Amazon insiders say.
