Former Amazon executive to be new chief of Bezos Earth Fund
July 15 (Reuters) - Former Amazon AMZN.O executive Tom Taylor will now lead the $10 billion Bezos Earth Fund, taking over from Andrew Steer, who stepped down as the CEO in February.
Taylor, who was the senior vice president for Alexa, will be the chief executive and president of the Earth Fund, which was set up with the personal fortune of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos to invest in tackling climate change this decade.
"I am excited to work with Jeff and Lauren to implement their vision and grateful to inherit an incredibly capable and mission driven team," Taylor said in a post on LinkedIn on Tuesday.
Bezos married journalist Lauren Sanchez in late June during a star-studded wedding extravaganza in Venice.
Taylor announced his retirement from Amazon in 2022.
The fund, created in 2020, has so far distributed $2.3 billion in grants, according to its website.
