Jeff Wilke, senior vice president of Amazon’s consumer business (which includes its enormous online store and all that’s associated with it), will now be CEO of Worldwide Consumer.
Andy Jassy, senior vice president of the tech giant’s cloud computing unit, is now officially CEO of Amazon Web Services.
The company says that this is not a reorganization but rather "a recognition of the roles they’ve played for a while."
Jeff Bezos remains CEO of the entire company.
