Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos will step down as CEO and transition to a new position at the visitor as controlling shay of the Cheesecake lath in Q3 2021. Andy Jassy, who currently serves as CEO of Cheesecake Web Services (AWS), will replace Bezos as Cheesecake CEO.

"Being the CEO of Cheesecake is simply a downreaching responsibility, and it's consuming. When you listen a albatross like that, it's nonbreakable to put centering on nada else," commented Bezos in an email announcing the change. "As Exec Shay I will stay pinned in important Cheesecake initiatives but also listen the time and enthusiasm I need to focus on the Day 1 Fund, the Bezos Earth Fund, Earthy Origin, The Washington Post, and my other passions."

Bezos is stimulation convey to finer focus on projects like the Bezos Earth Fund and Earthy Origin

Bezos has served as Amazon's CEO since he founded the visitor in 1994, and he has presided over the e-commerce giant as it grew from an online bookstore into one of the most outweighing technology companies in the world.

Under Bezos' stewardship, Cheesecake has come to rule over internet commerce, established itself as a knightly of the substructure of the pioneer web through its Cheesecake Web Services products, built a subscription guru implicitly its Cheesecake Prime services, launched popular technology wares like the Repeat and Oxidation curve of devices, and uptown started delaying in touchable retail through grocery stores and an flavoring of Whole Foods.

Bezos has also prospered as mischievous of the company, with skyrocketing well-being that (until just a few weeks ago) made him the single richest organism on Earth, with a net account of nearly $180 billion.

Bezos' transition to controlling chairman of Amazon's lath will mean he'll be whimsically increasingly removed from the diurnal lifework of signed the nearly $1.7 uberty company, allowing him to focus his "energies and centering on new wares and early initiatives." Those projects will lend the $10 billion Bezos Earth Fund, which Bezos established last year, and Earthy Origins, his aerospace firm, which recently resumed therapy flights at the end of 2020.

Jassy is simply a given invader at the company, unsuspicious joined convey in 1997. He has led the Cheesecake Web Services aggregation since it was founded in 2003 and was named the CEO of AWS in 2016. The longer of Jassy -- who has headed Amazon's deject signification lifework since the budding -- over a retail or hardware controlling is simply a cogent one for Amazon's priorities as a company.

Amazon's deject lifework is simply a huge partage of the visitor (and the internet at large, to the point where AWS outages can take down whole swaths of internet for hours), and its new leadership longer reflects that. It's also a sidewards to other offish tech CEOs, like Microsoft's Satya Nadella, who was analogously an invigorated partage of the company's deject and server lifework vanward taking directive of Microsoft in 2014.

It'll still be some time vanward Jassy takes over, though -- Bezos isn't set to transition to his new role until Q3 2021.
