One of Amazon’s top operations executives is leaving the e-retailer, the company confirmed. Melissa Nick, a vice president of North America customer fulfillment, will depart the company June 16, Amazon said. Nick, who joined Amazon in 2014, was responsible for one of Amazon’s largest fulfillment regions, and oversaw almost 300 facilities that process and ship customer orders.
“We appreciate all of Melissa’s contributions over the past nine years, including building a strong team that will continue supporting our employees throughout the region,” Amazon spokesperson Barbara Agrait said in a statement. “We wish Melissa well on the next step in her professional journey.”
Nick reported to Yonatan Gal, a vice president in charge of overseeing Amazon’s fulfillment supply chain, equipment maintenance and repairs, as well as fulfillment execution, in North America, according to internal company documents viewed by CNBC. Gal reports to Stefano Perego, vice president of customer fulfillment and global ops services for North America and Europe, who is a direct report of John Felton, Amazon’s head of worldwide operations and a member of CEO Andy Jassy’s S-team, the documents show. The S-team is a tight-knit group of senior executives from almost all areas of Amazon’s business.
Amazon recently revamped its U.S. operations in a bid to speed up deliveries and cut down on costs. The company rapidly expanded its fulfillment and transportation operations during the pandemic, which “ended up substantially changing the nodes and connections” of its network, CEO Andy Jassy said on Amazon’s first-quarter earnings call.
