Andy Jassy Biography – Andy Jassy Wiki

Andy Jassy (born Andrew R. Jassy) is the CEO of Amazon Web Services (AWS). On February 2, 2021, Amazon announced that Jeff Bezos will transition to the role of Executive Chair in the third quarter of 2021 and Andy Jassy will become Chief Executive Officer at that time.

Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder and CEO, said: “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.”

Jassy joined Amazon in 1997 as a marketing manager. He helped in the development of Amazon Web Services (AWS) since its inception in 2006. In April 2016, Jassy was promoted from senior vice president to CEO of AWS.
