: Amazon logistics head John Felton to become CFO

Amazon's logistics head John Felton is set to replace current CFO Richard Puccio, who is planning to leave the company and take over as chief financial officer at Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Felton has had a long history with Amazon as he has been in the company since 2004 when he was hired as a senior financial analyst and has held nine roles so far. Over the last 12 years, he has worked in the operations team, taking the role of SVP of worldwide operations in July 2022. 

In a blog post shared by Amazon on January 18, the company said, "John and his teams have led the successful work to regionalize our US network, both improving our delivery speeds for customers and reducing our cost to serve. He leaves our operations network in a strong place."

Felton wrote in a note to staff, “It has been a great run and a time that I will cherish with pride. Good news is that I’m not going far and am excited to share many of the skills I learned from you all in Operations with the AWS team.”
