This Amazon division may be planning major leadership changes

Amazon’s grocery division, which is now led by Jason Buechel, is reportedly planning major leadership changes, including a reorganisation of Whole Foods. This marks the first significant restructuring under Buechel, who recently began overseeing Amazon’s entire grocery business. According to an internal memo obtained by Business Insider (BI), Buechel has assembled a new leadership team. This team combines experienced executives from both Whole Foods and Amazon. Buechel, who became Whole Foods’ CEO in 2022 and was promoted to head Amazon’s full grocery operations in January, now aims for a deeper integration of Whole Foods with the e-commerce giant’s platform.

The memo suggests that these changes are necessary to accelerate the growth of Amazon’s grocery business.
