Andy Jassy’s Qualities And Experience Obviously Makes Him A Standout For Amazon

Fairly recently, Amazon’s founder and CEO Jeff Bezos announced his decision to resign as the CEO of the company after 27 years. Andy Jassy, was named as the one to fill the vacant position due to his solid background of building Amazon’s cloud business into a $50 billion giant.

Andy Jassy is expected to lead the company to higher heights after joining Amazon in 1997. He has been running Amazon Web Service since 2006 and has proven why he fits in this position, especially when Amazon Web Service made $12.7 billion in revenue in the last quarter of 2020 — on company-wide sales of $125 billion — with operating income of $3.6 billion, a 37% jump year-over-year.

Jassy has what it takes to lead Amazon with an intimate understanding of the industry and the computing power. Since launching more than a decade ago, Amazon Web Service (AWS) has exceptionally been doing very well in terms of cloud sector.

It has grown from that point to become the industry’s biggest vendor with more than 30% of the global cloud market. Managing the business for 15 years, Jassy has excellently grown the outfit into billions of dollars enterprise with more than one million customers — including Pfizer, Walt Disney and Johnson & Johnson.

Jassy has single-handedly changed the face of computing in a unique way that makes him stand out. He gathered courage to pick the company up as a start-up and force them to change and move forward.

He was very ambitious to upgrade himself after graduating from selling books to everything store. Andy Jassy is such an extrovert and outspoken that, at a point he called out the Trump administration for scornfully hating Amazon, after AWS lost its bid for a $10 billion U.S. military cloud contract to Microsoft in 2020.

With Amazon’s immense size and market power, Jassy has his list of challenges ahead as CEO, most notably a multi-pronged antitrust campaign against the company led by the federal government, which has highlighted the company’s dominance in its e-commerce business.

Jassy joined Amazon after graduating from Harvard University in 1997, shadowing Bezos as a technical assistant. He joined forces with Jeff Bezos in 2000, to give birth to an idea to outsource computer networks, years before other tech giants like Microsoft and Google began with their concept of what was then called – infrastructure-as-a-service.
