About us

Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. We are driven by the excitement of building technologies, inventing products, and providing services that change lives. We embrace new ways of doing things, make decisions quickly, and are not afraid to fail. We have the scope and capabilities of a large company, and the spirit and heart of a small one. Together, Amazonians research and develop new technologies from Amazon Web Services to Alexa on behalf of our customers: shoppers, sellers, content creators, and developers around the world. Our mission is to be Earth's most customer-centric company. Our actions, goals, projects, programs, and inventions begin and end with the customer top of mind. You'll also hear us say that at Amazon, it's always "Day 1." What do we mean? That our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon's very first day - to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and focus on delighting our customers.

    Amazon Leo is bringing more high-speed Wi-Fi to Delta Air Lines customers. ✈️ Starting in 2028, Delta will introduce our satellite technology with an initial installation on 500 aircraft, delivering fast speeds and low latency at 35,000 feet in the air. Amazon Leo's constellation sits at just 370 miles up in low Earth orbit, cutting signal travel time and enabling consistent connectivity everywhere from takeoff to landing.

    What were we like in the 90s? A Bellevue, Washington garage, door desks, and a dream to be Earth's most customer-centric company. From those scrappy beginnings, our Leadership Principles took shape: ❤️ Customer obsession 🪙 Frugality They've guided us from that first book sale to innovations that serve millions of customers today. It's always Day 1 at Amazon.

    Big news from Zoox today: Service will be expanding in San Francisco and Las Vegas soon, including the LAS airport. Plus, deploying soon in Austin and Miami, and new product features are rolling out. Pumped to see more customers try this. It’s really like nothing else. No driver. No steering wheel. Just an incredibly cool experience. This clip is from Vegas. Got picked up at Resorts World and did a loop around the city. You’ve got comfy seats, chargers for your devices, and face-to-face time with the people you’re riding with. So cool, you almost don’t want to get out once you get to your destination. Congrats to the Zoox team on today's announcement, and on the work you’ve done to create an awesome product. Pumped about what’s ahead.

    UK customers, we hear you loud and clear 🇬🇧. Alexa+ Early Access is rolling out to British customers starting today.     Pumped to see customers get this. Our Cambridge tech team built Alexa+ to be authentically British and tuned in to how people from across the country actually communicate. She knows what a "cuppa" is, understands 40 UK dialects from Geordie to Scouse, and may even drop "you're taking the mickey" into conversation.     Beyond the slang, she gets UK nuances like saying "the 15th of March" instead of "March 15th" or understanding that "entrée" refers to a starter, not a main course. Getting these details right is the difference between feeling understood and feeling like you're talking to a translator.     She's also integrated with trusted UK sources like The Guardian, The Independent, and Press Association, plus OpenTable to make life easier. She can do things like ask questions about the news and book restaurants through natural conversation, and can take action in the real world for you.     Super proud of the teams launching this. Hoping my friends from the comments enjoy the upgraded assistant they've been asking for.     Check out the details here: https://lnkd.in/gvUnTzjb

    Amazon's always been known for fast delivery, and it just keeps getting faster. From bananas to headphones, the things people order most through Amazon's new 1-hour and 3-hour delivery options might surprise you. Over 90,000 items are now deliverable in three hours or less — everything from everyday essentials to those last-minute "oh no, I forgot" moments. However you want to announce it, the news is the same: 1-hour delivery is available in hundreds of U.S. cities and towns, and 3-hour delivery is already live in 2,000 cities and towns. 📦
