Jeff Blackburn, the company's senior media officer, plans to retire at the beginning of 2023, the e-commerce behemoth announced on Friday.

According to the corporation, two current executives, Mike Hopkins and Steve Boom, who will work directly with Chief Executive Officer Andy Jassy, will supervise the media and entertainment operations, which have been under Blackburn's direction since May of last year.

Blackburn joined Amazon in 1998 and later held the position of senior vice president while assisting the business with its first public offering prospectus at Deutsche Bank.

He briefly departed Amazon in February 2021 before coming back in May 2021.

I've made a conscious decision to spend 2023 differently by spending more time with my family  is the right decision for me," said Blackburn.

In the meantime, Amazon had a wave of major layoffs in November of this year, which CEO Andy Jassy now claims will continue into 2019. Employees in the company's electronics and books businesses have been informed of the layoffs. A voluntary buyout offer was also made to a small number of employees.

Amazon has previously informed the authorities of its intention to fire around 260 corporate employees from its various operations. Amazon is providing severance payouts to workers who are being let go. It is one of many tech companies this year that are experiencing major layoffs. Meta and Twitter also announced job cuts in November, laying off thousands of employees.
