WASHINGTON:
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos will step down as the company's chief executive officer this summer and hand over the CEO reins to Andy Jassy, who runs Amazon's cloud-computing business.
"As much as I still tap dance into the office, I'm excited about this transition," Bezos said in a letter to employees, announcing the end of his 27-year run.
Bezos will become Amazon's executive chairman and remain its biggest shareholder, the company said on Tuesday.
