Dave Clark, CEO of Amazon’s worldwide consumer business and a top lieutenant of CEO Andy Jassy, \u200b\u200bwill resign July 1 after 23 years at the company, Amazon announced in a regulatory filing Friday.<\/p>\n

Amazon did not name a replacement for Clark. In a blog post announcing his exit by him, Jassy said Amazon is in the process of firming up a succession plan for Clark, and will announce an update “over the next few weeks.”<\/p>\n

“The past few years have been among the most challenging and unpredictable we’ve faced in the history of Amazon’s Consumer business, and I’m particularly appreciative of Dave’s leadership during that time,” Jassy said. <\/p>\n

Clark is one of a handful of the most important executives at Amazon, overseeing the company’s sprawling retail business. He took over the role in 2020 after Jeff Wilke stepped down, previously serving as Amazon’s senior vice president of retail operations. <\/p>\n

Clark quickly rose through the ranks at Amazon, joining the company in 1999 in its operations division. He is credited with scaling Amazon’s fulfillment and logistics programs, which have become the backbone of its retail business. His sharp eye for identifying weaknesses in its logistics operations earned him the nickname internally of “The Sniper,” Bloomberg reported.<\/p>\n

As CEO of Amazon’s worldwide consumer business, Clark oversees a number of key units, including online stores, physical stores, the marketplace of third-party sellers, and the Amazon Prime subscription business, all of which generated more than 75% of Amazon’s revenue in the quarter ended March 31.<\/p>\n

Amazon’s retail unit experienced explosive growth during the coronavirus pandemic amid an overall e-commerce boom, but the business has started to show some cracks in recent quarters. <\/p>\n

Clark’s departure comes two days after Sheryl Sandberg announced that she’s leaving her role operating chief role at Facebook parent Meta after 14 years.<\/p>\n
