Amazon named three additional executives to its senior leadership team Friday:
- Swami Sivasubramanian, a longtime AI leader for Amazon Web Services;
- Aicha Evans, CEO of Amazon-owned self-driving car company Zoox;
- David Brown, who oversees the key AWS Elastic Cloud Compute service, EC2.
Andy Jassy, the Amazon CEO, announced the additions in a message to employees that was also published on the company’s corporate site. The “s-team,” or “steam” as it’s known internally, now numbers 32 executives.
“Their customer obsession, inventiveness, propensity to be right a lot, curiosity and ability to learn, humility, very high standards, and missionary approach (always focusing on what’s best for customers — and the company as a whole vs. just their own area) are distinguishing characteristics that will make them effective steam members,” Jassy wrote of the three execs, referencing Amazon leadership principles.
Jassy added, “Additionally, the fact that we’re living in such an unusual time of invention and change makes me extra excited to have this trio join our crew.”
