Amazon.com has named longtime executive Doug Herrington as its new boss of world-wide stores following the departure of Dave Clark, who led its warehousing and e-commerce operations and is leaving the company.
Mr. Herrington, a 17-year Amazon veteran, will receive a new title as chief executive officer of Worldwide Amazon Stores, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said in a memo to company employees on Tuesday. Mr. Clark’s role had been CEO of Worldwide Consumer, where he oversaw the company’s consumer-facing website and sprawling logistics and delivery network. John Felton, also a longtime senior Amazon leader who has worked under Mr. Clark, will be the company’s new head of operations and report to Mr. Herrington, Mr. Jassy said.
