The CEO role comes with a lot of mundane responsibility (and potential liability) that I’m surprised he held onto for so long. I would expect a guy like Jeff to want to get on another rocket ship (unsure if literal or figurative).


It is as mundane as they want it to be. It mostly comes off that way because the majority of CEOs are the MBA types. If you look at Steve Jobs, Elon Musk etc., their day to day involvement could hardly be called mundane.


He had pushed a lot of it down to Jeff Wilke (retail business) and Jassy (AWS) but apparently wanted more time for other projects.


Why do you think it is mundane?
