AMAZON'S newest CEO Andy Jassy has been married to his wife Elana Rochelle Caplan since 1997.
The couple held their wedding ceremony in Santa Monica, and their wedding was officiated at Lоеwѕ Ѕаntа Моnіса Веасh Ноtеl.
Who is Andy Jassy’s wife Elana Rochelle Caplan?
Elana Rochelle Caplan is the daughter of Louise B Caplan and George T Caplan of California.
Her father George Caplan is a preeminent commercial litigation lawyer who represents major corporations in matters related to unfair competition, intellectual property, copyright, trademark infringement and First Amendment issues.
Elana Caplan, 52, is a graduate from the Philadelphia College of Textiles and Science.
Elana is fashion designer for Eddie Bauer Inc, a clothing retailer in Seattle.
She is also a marketing manager at Amazon.
How much is the couple's Santa Monica home worth?
Andy Jassy and his wife Elana dropped $6.7million for their massive estate in Santa Monica.
The mansion features a two-car garage, hardwood floors, a library, dinning room and BBQ area among other amenities.
The 2-arce property features three guest bedroom, each with their own colorful wallpaper and chandeliers.
The master suite retains the hardwood flooring found throughout the rest of the home and offers additional luxe amenities — a triple-sided fireplace, separate sitting/office space, private balcony, walk-in closet, a bathroom with dual vanities and a built-in soaking tub.
The Jassy estate’s backyard features a rectangular plunge pool with an inset spa, a full outdoor kitchen with a built-in BBQ and fireplace.
When did Andy Jassy take over as CEO of Amazon?
On February 2, 2021, Amazon announced that Andy Jassy will replace Jeff Bezos as CEO during the third quarter of this year.
Bezos founded Amazon in 1994 and since then has turned it from an online bookstore into the world's largest online retailer.
Jassy joined the company in 1997 and has led Amazon’s Web Services cloud team.
The announcement came as Amazon reported a blowout holiday quarter with profits more than doubling to $7.2 billion and revenue jumping 44 percent to $125.6 billion.
The record revenues for its core Christmas quarter saw the company exceed $100bn for the first time with help from the coronavirus pandemic.
Amazon is now worth $1.6trillion.
Bezos said Amazon's latest results showed it was the right time to make the transition.
In a letter to employees announcing the move, Bezos said: “I’m excited to announce that this Q3 I’ll transition to Executive Chair of the Amazon Board and Andy Jassy will become CEO.
“In the Exec Chair role, I intend to focus my energies and attention on new products and early initiatives.
Andy is well known inside the company and has been at Amazon almost as long as I have."
Bezos added: "He will be an outstanding leader, and he has my full confidence.”
