Also got to visit our robotic Air Hub sort center today which is very cool and the technical foundation for what we are installing in ground sort centers and the national air hub at CVG.
I've had an incredible time at Amazon but it’s time for me to build again. It's what drives me. To all I've had the honor of working with: thank you for making it so much fun to come to work every day for 23 years to invent cool, amazing things for customers.

We’re deeply saddened by the news that members of our Amazon family passed away as a result of the storm in Edwardsville, Illinois. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their loved ones, and everyone who has been impacted by the storm’s path across the U.S.
Tonight, chief executive officer of Worldwide Consumer at Amazon.com and #AuburnGrad@davehclark returned to give the commencement keynote address at his alma mater, where he urged our graduates to be bold and brave.

23 years ago I had my first day at work for an really interesting e-commerce store in Seattle…in the 23 years since a lot has changed but one thing hasn’t and that’s how incredible it is to work with the amazingly talented teams at Amazon.
Congrats @apoorva_mehta@fidjissimo and the whole Instacart team…as an observer from afar for a long time it’s super impressive what you built. Many won’t ever appreciate the complexity you had to overcome in grocery they will just enjoy the magic which is what makes it great!
Today, the company I founded in my kitchen is now publicly traded ($CART)! I’m immensely grateful to the team that built @Instacart. I also want to thank the hard-working community of shoppers, our incredible customers, our retail and CPG partners and our CEO @fidjissimo
We’re continuing to provide support to our employees and partners in the area and across the communities affected by the storms. We also want to thank all of the first responders for their ongoing efforts on the scene.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone and a special thank you to the million + Amazonians around the world getting ready to deliver an amazing Holiday Season for customers. I am incredibly lucky and thankful I get to work with such incredible people. It’s show time! 🎅🎄📦📦📦📦
