Jeff Bezos is Leaving as Amazon CEO - Live Breaking Update!
Jeff Bezos Steps Down:
Jeff Bezos, Amazon Founder and CEO, has announced he will be stepping in Q3 and AWS executive Andy Jassy will be taking over as CEO. Jeff Bezos, who started then online bookstore Amazon in 1994, will transition to executive chairman of Amazon’s board. Alex discusses Bezos stepping down after building Amazon for 27 years and celebrates Jeff's never ending drive to always be inventing, innovating, and pushing the limits on new business models. Moazed goes on to explain the importance of big tech succession moves fostering innovation and encourage risk taking while also keeping existing business operations running at peak levels.

Here’s the full letter from Jeff Bezos to Amazon employees:
Fellow Amazonians:

I’m excited to announce that this Q3 I’ll transition to Executive Chair of the Amazon Board and Andy Jassy will become CEO. In the Exec Chair role, I intend to focus my energies and attention on new products and early initiatives. Andy is well known inside the company and has been at Amazon almost as long as I have.

I don’t know of another company with an invention track record as good as Amazon’s, and I believe we are at our most inventive right now. I hope you are as proud of our inventiveness as I am. I think you should be.

As Amazon became large, we decided to use our scale and scope to lead on important social issues. Two high-impact examples: our $15 minimum wage and the Climate Pledge. In both cases, we staked out leadership positions and then asked others to come along with us. In both cases, it’s working. Other large companies are coming our way. I hope you’re proud of that as well.

I find my work meaningful and fun. I get to work with the smartest, most talented, most ingenious t
