After less than two years, Amazon will once again have a vacancy in the critical role of CEO of worldwide consumer business.
Dave Clark, a 23-year Amazon veteran and one of the most important executives at the company, will step down, effective July 1, 2022, to pursue other opportunities. Amazon revealed the news in a regulatory filing and also in a message to employees by company CEO Andy Jassy that was posted on the Amazon website. No immediate successor was named, but the company said it expected to provide an update during the next few weeks.
In his note, Jassy praised Clark and alluded to his taking over as CEO of worldwide consumer in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
