What you should know

Bezos had stepped back from much of the day-to-day business over several years, though the pandemic pulled him back in last spring.

The move marks the end of an era for Amazon, as Bezos has personified the company since he founded it as an online bookseller in 1996, growing it into a $1.7 trillion with more than 1.2 million workers.

Under Bezos leadership, the company  grew into sales of millions of different items, turning to a logistics giant,  before it spread further into cloud computing, streaming entertainment and artificial-intelligence-powered devices.
