Amazon‘s top health-care boss will step down from his role and be replaced by the cofounder of telemedicine company Amwell, the company announced Wednesday.
Neil Lindsay, who joined Amazon more than 15 years ago, has served as the senior vice president of Amazon Health Services since 2021. AHS spans Amazon’s online pharmacy service and primary care chain One Medical, among other initiatives.
Dr. Roy Schoenberg will succeed Lindsay on July 1, Amazon’s worldwide retail chief Doug Herrington wrote in a memo posted to the company’s website. Lindsay will stay on as an advisor at Amazon until the end of the year, and plans to continue advising companies on health-care technology.
In addition to cofounding and leading Amwell, Schoenberg brings “a rare combination of clinical expertise, technology vision, and experience building health-care businesses at scale,” Herrington wrote.
