Amazon.com Inc.’s devices chief Dave Limp plans to retire from the company in the coming months, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Limp, a longtime executive with the Seattle-based company, oversees the Devices & Services unit that makes Echo smart speakers and the accompanying Alexa software, Fire-branded TV streaming sticks and tablets, among other gadgets. He’s a member of Amazon’s S-team, the senior group of leaders.
Limp is one of several Amazon executives who have departed since Andy Jassy became CEO about two years ago. His division was among those hit by an unprecedentedly large round of layoffs that affected 27,000 people.
An Amazon spokesperson confirmed that Limp would leave the company before the end of the year, the Journal reported. Amazon didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
