AWS CEO Adam Selipsky resigns

Adam Selipsky is stepping down as CEO of AWS. Amazon PR confirmed this to TechCrunch.

In a memo shared internally by Amazon CEO Andy Jassy and published this morning on the Amazon company blog, Jassy said that AWS sales chief Matt Garman would be promoted to CEO. Garman previously led AWS’ EC2 cloud computing initiative.

“We have been fortunate that Adam agreed to step in and lead AWS, and has ably led the company, while growing his leadership team,” Jassy wrote. “Adam will now move on to his next challenge (after taking a well-deserved break) and Garman will become CEO of AWS, effective June 3.”
