Dave Clark, 47, Amazon’s senior vice president of worldwide operations, will replace Wilke as CEO of that business, the company said in a filing. Bezos said in a note to staff, shared with Reuters, that Wilke’s “legacy and impact will live on long after he departs. He is simply one of those people without whom Amazon would be completely unrecognizable.”

Clark, who replaces Wilke, has overseen the delivery operation that has been key to Amazon’s success with shoppers. Also at Amazon for over two decades, Clark has built out the company’s last-mile delivery service, air cargo fleet and warehouse operations that have helped speed delivery times for loyalty club Prime members to two days or less.
