From Sundar Pichai to Satya Nadella, How Jeff Bezos’ tech peers reacted to his Amazon exit

Following Jeff Bezos’s announcement to step down as the chief executive of Amazon on Tuesday, several tech executives are congratulating the world’s richest man and his successor Andy Jassy who is set to take over the helm of the e-commerce giant in the third quarter.

In a letter to Amazon employees, Bezos announced his decision to focus his energies and attention on new products and early initiatives. “As Exec Chair I will stay engaged in important Amazon initiatives but also have the time and energy I need to focus on the Day 1 Fund, the Bezos Earth Fund, Blue Origin, The Washington Post, and my other passions,” Bezos said.
