What Jeff Bezos was doing before he launched Amazon

Tech entrepreneur, founder of e-retailer Amazon, world’s richest person – Jeff Bezos has held many titles. These not only define Bezos as a person, but also his penchant for excellence.

Bezos announced on Tuesday that he will step down as CEO of the company he founded nearly three decades ago. In a letter to his employees, the 57-year-old said he would now have more time for his philanthropic initiatives and side projects like space exploration company Blue Origin.

Bezos, who is the company’s biggest shareholder, will still have broad influence over Amazon.
