Andy Jassy di AWS passerà al comando nel terzo trimestre.
Nel terzo trimestre di quest’anno, Jeff Bezos si dimetterà dalla carica di CEO di Amazon, diventando presidente esecutivo della società che ha concepito 27 anni fa mentre era in viaggio in auto verso Seattle. Prenderà il timone Andy Jassy al suo fianco da molto tempo, che si è fatto un nome come capo della divisione cloud di Amazon, AWS che è in rapida crescita.
“Amazon is what it is because of invention. We do crazy things together and then make them normal. We pioneered customer reviews, 1-Click, personalized recommendations, Prime’s insanely-fast shipping, Just Walk Out shopping, the Climate Pledge, Kindle, Alexa, marketplace, infrastructure cloud computing, Career Choice, and much more. If you do it right, a few years after a surprising invention, the new thing has become normal. People yawn. That yawn is the greatest compliment an inventor can receive. When you look at our financial results, what you’re actually seeing are the long-run cumulative results of invention. Right now I see Amazon at its most inventive ever, making it an optimal time for this transition.”
Jeff Bezos
In un’e-mail ai dipendenti di Amazon che annunciavano la notizia, Bezos ha affermato che dedicherà più tempo a concentrarsi su nuovi prodotti e nuove iniziative.
“As Exec Chair I will stay engaged in important Amazon initiatives but also have the time and energy I need to focus on the Day 1 Fund, the Bezos Earth Fund, Blue Origin, The Washington Post, and my other passions,” he wrote. “I’ve never had more energy, and this isn’t about retiring. I’m super passionate about the impact I think these organizations can have.”
