AWS NOW HOSTS 42 PERCENT OF THE TOP 10,000 WEBSITES. “Andy brings the first principles thinking that has always been a part of what’s made Amazon successful – deeply trying to understand the
end customer, creating building blocks by which other people can build and then being good at rapidly iterating,” Matt McIlwain, a managing director with Madrona Venture Group in Seattle,
who has closely monitored Amazon’s rise, told Bloomberg. The 53-year-old American businessman grew up in Scarsdale, New York, and joined Amazon after pursuing MBA from Harvard Business
School. He worked as a technical assistant for Bezos in the early 2000s where he was responsible for leading the company’s push outside of book sales. In his letter, Bezos wrote, “Andy is
well known inside the company and has been at Amazon almost as long as I have.”
