Dave Treadwell replaces Dave Brown as AWS Compute and ML Services SVP

Dave Treadwell, a nine-year Amazon veteran running eCommerce Foundation, replaces Dave Brown, who exits AWS entirely on July 31.

Treadwell takes over August 1; Brown stays through July 31 to hand off.
Brown built AWS's compute business over nearly 19 years; his next job is unnamed.
Before eCommerce Foundation, Treadwell ran Amazon's entire technology platform.

Why it matters: AWS put its compute and AI engine in a retail-platform executive's hands, not a compute engineer's.
