Clark has long been considered one of the most powerful executives in the United States. He first joined Amazon in 1999 and ascended to the company’s famously secretive, 23-member “S-team” of top executives. Most recently, he spearheaded Amazon’s COVID-19 strategy.
In his email to staffers, Clark wrote that he “joined Amazon out of grad school” when the company was “small” but “growing fast.” “As much as I have loved the ride, it is time for me to say goodbye to start a new journey. For some time, I have discussed my intent to transition out of Amazon with my family and others close to me, but I wanted to ensure the teams were setup for success. I feel confident that time is now.”
