Dave Brown, a 19-year AWS veteran on the S-team, is leaving the company. He had deep expertise running EC2 and related compute services. Dave Treadwell, currently leading Amazon Retail's eCommerce Foundation, will take over as the senior leader for EC2. Amazon Retail was one of AWS's largest and most demanding customers, giving Treadwell unique insight into real-world pain points. The change was announced internally. Brown departs for undisclosed reasons after significant contributions to EC2 operations. Treadwell now oversees one of AWS's core infrastructure services at a time of heavy demand for compute resources, especially GPUs. Observers note this could bring fresh retail-honed approaches to issues like instance availability, pricing models, and quota management.
