Jeff Bezos says goodbye as CEO at Amazon. This is the news that has shaken the world of the economy and business this week. And it is that the announcement of his retirement leaves with questions to more than one.
However, he is not the first CEO to retire from his company. For some time several have left their position to leave the command of whoever could continue with the legacy for whatever reason.
Although, the news of Jeff Bezos has surprised us. The CEO will not completely abandon his responsibilities at Amazon, since, as reported by ‘The New York Times’, Bezos will focus on the area of “new products and early initiatives”.
After 27 is the Executive President of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, leaves his position. At the moment where the multinational company is at its peak.
Also, he will leave someone trustworthy in charge where Jeff expresses that “it is the optimal moment for the transition.” This transaction will take place in July.
Who will be in command?
The new responsibilities of Bezos will be under the hand of Andy Jassy, who until now is the founder of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and entered only three years after Bezos in Amazon.
Jassy, for some time, had been assuming some responsibilities from Jeff. However, the time has come to make it official.
AWS is the cloud platform, which today is used by countless companies, institutions, and startups to carry out their projects. That is just a few years since its foundation managed to position itself among the most reliable technology subsidiaries. In turn, it managed to raise $ 12.7 billion in sales last year.
Is it a coincidence that Andy Jassy is the next CEO? We don’t know, what we do know is that many are wondering if Jassy will manage to fill Jeff Bezos’ shoes as CEO of Amazon.
