Top Executives Leave Amazon

Several top executives, including the head of their retail division and the company's head of loss prevention in the Americas, have left Amazon. This reflects a larger trend as more executives depart since Jeff Bezos stepped down as CEO. While promotions within the company are expected, one notable promotion is Dana Howard, who previously ran the company's loss prevention team and is now in charge of training for warehouse workers. Howard's career path, from a private prison analyst to security roles at Amazon, highlights the company's approach to power dynamics and the value placed on diversity initiatives for top executives, as opposed to warehouse workers. This highlights a disconnect between the experiences and opportunities for those in positions of power versus the workers on the ground.
