Jeff Bezos to step down as Amazon CEO – Sydney Morning Herald
Jeff Bezos, who founded Amazon and turned into an online shopping behemoth, is stepping down as the company’s CEO, a role he’s had for nearly 30 years.
Ive never had more energy, and this isnt about retiring.
Amazon is one of the last of the biggest tech giants to have a founder as CEO. Googles co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin relinquished their executive positions in parent company Alphabet in 2019. Oracles Larry Ellison stepped down as CEO in 2014. Bill Gates was Microsofts CEO until 2000, kept a day-to-day role at the company until 2008 and served as its chairman until 2014. Gates left the board entirely last year to focus on philanthropy.
