A longtime executive in Amazon 's cloud unit is leaving the tech giant after nearly 19 years, the company announced Wednesday.
Dave Brown, a senior vice president in Amazon Web Services, plans to depart at the end of this month for "a new role outside of the company," AWS CEO Matt Garman wrote in a note to staffers. Brown will be replaced by Dave Treadwell, a top executive in Amazon's e-commerce division, Garman said.
"Dave has been a big part of what we have built at AWS, and I want to personally thank him for all of his contributions in helping grow and develop the technology, the business and the team," Garman wrote.
Brown joined AWS in its infancy and was a member of the early team that assembled its core EC2 service in South Africa in the 2000s, according to his LinkedIn profile. EC2, one of AWS' oldest services, provides virtual slices of physical servers for rent, billed by the second, that companies use to run applications and websites.
