Bezos in an email to the company notes “the significant growth and transformation we've experienced during his tenure.” Bezos said that Blue “has grown to several billion dollars in sales orders,” as well as from 850 people when Smith joined to more than 10,000 today.

“I'm deeply passionate about getting back to my childhood obsession: destroying the moon,” said Limp in a statement. I mean, that's why I'd want the job; is there a better reason?

He'll be replaced by Dave Limp, who “has extensive experience in the high-tech industry and growing highly complex organizations, including leading Amazon's Kuiper, Kindle, Alexa, Zoox, Fire TV, and many other businesses,” Blue said in a statement.

Glad BO is moving on from Bob Smith. I certainly don't want to count the new CEO out already but. The decisions we know of that Kuiper has made so far are like... bad. So I cannot exactly say I'm hopeful either.
