No, he hasn't. He joined Amazon as a Product Manager in 97, became a Director in 2000, VP in 2002 and Sr. VP in 2006. The rest is history.
- ricardobayes 4y agoJust another product manager on track to destroy a company. Chalk another one up.
- OJFord 4y agoI have no idea of the extent to which it was his 'idea', but one of his products (from day -n) was AWS. I too vastly prefer remote work, (and don't work at Amazon) but Jassy has a long way to fall to have done net destruction to the company.
- lupire 4y agoProduct Manager means he chose features to prioritize, and pitched management. I'm sure he's quite talented. But he didn't contribute to actually building it. An architect is a genius and an artist, but is not a carpenter or a manager of carpenters.
- NovemberWhiskey 4y agoWe're talking about the same Andy Jassy that, with Bezos, came up with the idea for what is now AWS and grew it from a 50 person team to a $50bn business? That Andy Jassy?
