Andy Jassy joined Amazon in 1997, shortly after graduating from Harvard Business School. He spent his early years at the company in marketing before becoming the founder and long-time head of Amazon Web Services, building it from an internal concept into one of the world's largest cloud computing businesses. His tenure leading AWS established him as a significant figure in enterprise technology.
In 2021, Jassy succeeded Jeff Bezos as President and Chief Executive Officer of Amazon, taking on responsibility for the company's full portfolio of businesses, including e-commerce, logistics, advertising, and AWS. Since assuming the role, he has overseen a period of substantial cost restructuring and continued investment in artificial intelligence capabilities across Amazon's services.
