Several healthcare executives and leaders at Amazon have stepped down or taken a break from their positions in 2022.
Here are three leaders who announced resignations or breaks since Jan. 1:
- Phoebe Yang, general manager of healthcare at Amazon Web Services, said she was stepping down from her role in a Aug. 5 LinkedIn post.
- Kristen Helton, PhD, general manager and director of Amazon Care, is taking time away from the tech giant's primary healthcare initiative for an extended break. Dr. Helton's break began earlier this summer as she looked to "spend the summer with her family."
- Patty Bedard, head of executive development at Amazon, left the company to join healthcare workforce marketplace platform CareRev. Ms. Bedard will serve as CareRev's chief people officer.
