As you likely already know, Jeff Bezos has stepped down as Amazon CEO, moving to Executive Chair of the Amazon Board and replaced as CEO by former Amazon AWS CEO, Andy Jassy.

Here’s a link to Bezos’ official letter to Amazon employees breaking the news.

And here’s a link to Kara Swisher’s tweet sharing Andy Jassy’s email to his AWS team. My favorite bit from that email:

We have unusual leadership depth in AWS that, along with all of you, are the heart of the business — and that doesn’t change. In the meantime, stay giddied up.

Also worth reading is Kara’s op-ed on Andy Jassy in today’s New York Times.

Finally, here’s a great video from back in 1997, when Bezos and Amazon were still young, Jeff talking about his vision for his new company. Even back then, feels like he knew what was coming.
