‘AWS Never Lost That Desire to Continue to Innovate’

MSPs on what Jassy accomplished that no one else could have …

nCloud’s JT Giri:

“He successfully positioned AWS as the definitive cloud platform. He delivered outstanding growth in market share, revenue and profit. Jassy instilled a culture of listening and responding to customers and partners – which led to new services like EKS, Sagemaker, building commercial-grade database systems like Aurora and DynamoDB, and providing the next-gen of ARM Graviton2 processors to provide better performance at reduced cost. He energized the creation of a partner network to support AWS customers – literally from scratch to now numbering in the tens of thousands.”

AllCloud’s Eran Gil:

“Andy Jassy built AWS from the ground up to become a huge success. He achieved greatness and built something that clearly holds the leadership position in the market, with continued high growth. Jassy achieved all of this while enabling an environment of continuous improvement and continuous innovation throughout AWS.”

2^nd Watch’s Michael Elliott:

“Vision. Andy Jassy defined what public cloud could become, and then constantly innovated to far outpace the competition. Most companies lose sight of that continuous innovation; AWS never lost that desire to continue to innovate.”

Claranet’s Mark Turner:

“For me, Jassy’s appointment as Amazon CEO speaks volumes about the importance of Amazon Web Services to the overall business. While most people see Amazon as an online retailer first and foremost, AWS is actually Amazon’s primary profit driver. AWS grew out of selling the IT infrastructure that Amazon designed to help sell books online; the services that Amazon needed as a retailer also met a growing need in the wider industry for web-scale application infrastructure. Today, AWS is a behemoth of the cloud space.”
