Former head of Amazon Business joins Boxed, a start-up selling household goods in bulk

Huang said he jumped on the first flight from New York to Seattle when he learned Wilson was willing to meet to discuss a potential position at Boxed.

"It's rare to find proven executive talent that knows how to operate an e-commerce business at scale," Huang said. After Wilson left Amazon in June, John Witham, vice president of Hardlines, temporarily took over his role. Alexandre Gagnon, a 15-year Amazon veteran who most recently led Amazon Canada and Mexico, is the new vice president of Amazon Business, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Wilson told CNBC it was "super hard" to leave Amazon Business because he grew it from scratch, writing the initial concept and hiring the team's first employee. The division grew into a $10 billion business in just three years. He sees a similar trajectory for Boxed.
