Critics have also previously pointed out the lack of diversity among the executives of the e-commerce giant
Two Black executives are departing e-commerce giant Amazon, according to reports, following the news of reorganisation within the retail giant.
MarketWatch reported that Alicia Boler-Davis, a vice president who oversees the company's warehouses, and David Bozeman, the vice president of Amazon's Transportation services, are leaving Amazon.
Boler-Davis, who is part of Amazon's senior leadership circle dubbed as the S-Team, was described by John Felton as "an impressive and impactful leader through an unprecedented time."
Bozeman, on the other hand, has been hailed for expanding Amazon's transportation services amid COVID-19.
"He has been instrumental in building and developing our middle mile network and setting us up for success," he said as quoted by CNBC.
Their departure further reduces the number of Black executives within the retail giant, which is about 5.5% of its leadership team, according to company data as of the end of 2021. Critics have also previously pointed out the lack of diversity among the executives of the e-commerce giant.
