Tony Hoggett, the executive who led Amazon.com Inc.’s grocery business for the last couple of years, is leaving the e-commerce giant.
“It’s time for the next step in my career,” Hoggett, Amazon’s senior vice president of worldwide grocery stores, said Friday in a post on LinkedIn, without specifying what he’ll be doing next. His last day will be Nov. 1, Amazon retail chief Doug Herrington said in an email to employees seen by Bloomberg.
