As Amazon continues to grow beyond online commerce, the titles of two of its longtime execs have been updated. The retail giant named Andy Jassy CEO of Amazon Web Services and Jeff Wilke CEO of Worldwide Consumer. Jeff Bezos will continue to hold the role of CEO of the entire company.
Both executives have been with Amazon since the late 1990s and were already leaders of their divisions during the company’s expansion. Prior to being appointed to CEO, Jassy held the role of Senior VP of Amazon’s cloud computing unit, while Wilke was the Senior VP of Consumer Business.
A blog post announcing the new roles stated, “This is not a reorganization but rather a recognition of the roles [Jassy and Wilke] played for a while.”
