Amazon Fulfillment Executive Melissa Nick Leaving Company June 16

Amazon Vice President, North America Customer Fulfillment Melissa Nick will reportedly leave the company June 16.

Nick will be the latest in a series of executives who have left the company over the past year, CNBC reported Thursday (June 1).

In a statement provided to PYMNTS, Barbara Agrait, an Amazon spokesperson, said: “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. We wish Melissa well on the next step in her professional journey.”

Nick was responsible for one of the company’s largest fulfillment regions and oversaw almost 300 facilities, according to the CNBC report.

The report of her upcoming departure follows that of a vice president in charge of Amazon Web Services data centers, executives overseeing Amazon’s Alexa and hardware research and development groups, a workplace health and safety chief, a public policy chief and a retail chief, the report said.

To put it in perspective, the company has hundreds of vice presidents, and their average tenure is about 10 years, per the report.

Amazon reported in its most recent quarterly report that eCommerce growth was slowing but that it logged double-digit gains in third-party seller services.

Net sales at online stores were up 3%, sales at physical stores surged by 7% and third-party seller services logged a gain of 20% during the quarter ended March 31, the company said in an April 27 earnings release.

Amazon has also been making an ongoing series of job cuts as it looks for ways to find new efficiencies.

The company announced March 20 that it was set to lay off 9,000 employees on top of the 18,000 positions it eliminated in January.

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said in a March 20 message to employees that the cuts followed several years in which most of its businesses added to their headcount.

“This made sense given what was happening in our businesses and the economy as a whole,” Jassy said in the message. “However, given the uncertain economy in which we reside, and the uncertainty that exists in the near future, we have chosen to be more streamlined in our costs and headcount.”
