Amazon’s AWS chief Selipsky to step down, veteran named successor

The chief of Amazon.com’s wildly profitable Amazon Web Services cloud computing unit will step down next month after a three-year term.

Adam Selipsky, 57, who is also a member of Amazon’s team advising CEO Andy Jassy, will leave the company on June 3, according to an Amazon statement Tuesday. He will be replaced by Matt Garman, a senior vice president who has overseen sales and marketing at AWS.

Selipsky has spent 14 years at AWS over two stints. He was the CEO of Tableau Software, a unit of Salesforce, from 2016 to 2021, when he was tapped to take over the division from Jassy who had been appointed Amazon CEO.
