My Take
Andy Jassy strikes me as one of the most consequential executives most people could not pick out of a lineup. Stepping in for Jeff Bezos at Amazon is a daunting act to follow, but what truly impresses me is that he built AWS from an idea into the backbone of much of the modern internet. A huge share of the services we use every day quietly run on the business he created. Succeeding a legendary founder is arguably harder than building something new, and his Time 100 recognition reflects a steady, understated kind of power. I have a real soft spot for this sort of low-key heavyweight.
