Cat Zakrzewski / @cat_zakrzewski : Amazon's leadership shakeup comes at the most politically perilous moment in the company's history.

Nicholas McQuire / @nickmcquire : 9/ The move affords Mr Bezos more time to focus on his media, climate & space endeavours but I suspect he will still be involved in major corporate initiatives.
