CEOs leaving the company after selling them to Amazon
Rubin is not the first CEO to leave the company after it was acquired by Amazon. In September 2022, the co-founders of prescription drug company PillPack, TJ Parker and Elliot Cohen, left Amazon four years after the startup was acquired by the tech major. In March, Twitch CEO Emmett Shear resigned from Amazon while Whole Foods CEO John Mackey retired in 2022.
Amazon’s presence in health care market
Amazon tried to improve its presence in the healthcare market with the One Medical and PillPack deals. Apart from this, the company has also developed in-house medical services.
In August 2022, the company closed its Amazon Care telehealth service as part of its cost-cutting efforts. Haven, another healthcare-related joint venture was also disbanded by Amazon in 2021. The company has recently expanded its virtual health clinic service and it also operates an online pharmacy.
