Amazon Through the Years

Jeff Bezos is transitioning to executive chairman, marking a new chapter for Amazon. Under his leadership, Amazon grew from an online bookstore to a $1.7 trillion retail giant. The company expanded its offerings based on customer feedback and survived the dot com bubble by keeping inventory low and prices competitive. Bezos also ventured into other fields, launching the Kindle and founding Blue Origin. Amazon Web Services (AWS) became a major profit driver, leading to Andy Jassy's appointment as Bezos' successor.
