Amazon faces uncertainty due to changes in senior personnel!

In 2020, driven by the pandemic, Amazon has grown rapidly, attracting many sellers. However, Amazon's development has not been smooth sailing, and it has been plagued by turmoil recently. First, the outside world questioned whether Amazon could continue to maintain its previous performance after the change of leadership, then Amazon was investigated for antitrust violations, and its second-quarter financial report was not as expected. Now Amazon's development has ushered in a new problem.

Recently, foreign media reported that Amazon has made several senior personnel changes . Adam Selipsky resigned from his position as CEO of Tableau Software and became the CEO of AWS. AWS is Amazon's cloud computing division, which is very profitable and has been managed by Jassy.

In addition, Charlie Bell, a 23-year veteran of Amazon , will leave to work for Microsoft's cloud division, while Teresa Carlson, formerly AWS's public sector vice president, will leave to work for business intelligence software provider Splunk.

Half of Amazon's total operating profit comes from AWS , according to the report . If the development of this department encounters a bottleneck, Amazon may have less cash to invest in the future, such as its previously planned entry into department stores, investment in electric car maker Rivian, expansion of renewable energy projects and other businesses.

In addition, Jeff Wilke, CEO of Amazon's global consumer business, will step down this year and be replaced by Dave Clar. Executives of the "Grocery Project" will also leave. According to statistics, the turnover rate of Amazon vice presidents and above will reach 12.9% . For Amazon, this not only means that it will have to re-arrange its business, but also face doubts in attracting talent.

Previously, the turnover rate of Amazon’s ordinary employees has attracted the attention of netizens, and some foreign netizens have joked that Amazon’s ordinary employees are “flowing workers.”

The report finally stated that these important personnel changes will call into question Amazon’s ability to continue to grow, further increasing the uncertainty faced by Amazon.
