On July 5, Andy Jassy officially became Amazon CEO, succeeding Jeff Bezos, who steps into the position of executive chairman.
When Amazon Web Services CEO Andy Jassy has a big decision to make, it usually comes at the Chop.
"If you go to a Chop meeting with Andy, you better be ready," one former senior-level employee told Insider.
Though he's one of the longest-serving executives at Amazon and a close confidant of CEO Jeff Bezos, Jassy still remains relatively little-known outside tech circles.
Early on in the pandemic, Jassy told AWS employees that "the world is relying on Amazon," according to an email seen by Insider.
