San Francisco, June 22 (TIWN) Tech giant Amazon has announced that Doug Herrington will become the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the company's Worldwide Amazon Stores business, formerly known as "Consumer".

As part of this organizational change, Doug and I are pleased to share that the Operations organization will be united under a single leader, John Felton. John has been at Amazon for nearly 18 years, spending 12 years in Retail and Operations finance leadership roles. In 2018, John moved to Worldwide Operations to become the VP of Global Customer Fulfillment; and in 2019, he took over the newly formed Global Delivery Services group, encompassing global import/export, Amazon Logistics, and our last-mile delivery services. He joined S-team in September, 2020. John has strong end-to-end knowledge of our Fulfillment network, operates with an important mix of strategic thinking and a command of the details that matter most in our network, is right a lot, and is a strong team builder who is dedicated to making Amazon a great place to work for our employees.
