Tony Hoggett, the Amazon senior vice president in charge of the company’s worldwide grocery stores business, is leaving the tech giant as it continues to try to find its way in a critical retail segment.

A former Tesco executive, Hoggett started at Amazon in January 2022, and served on the company’s senior leadership team, or S-team, which meets regularly with Amazon CEO Andy Jassy and other top executives.

During his tenure at the company, he brought together and oversaw all of Amazon’s grocery businesses, including Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods Market, Amazon Go, and the company’s grocery partnerships.

Hoggett’s last day at the company will be Nov. 1, according to an internal Amazon email viewed by GeekWire. The email notes that the company is still working on a succession plan, with more details expected in the coming weeks.

Did he want a raise? Is he okay? Is he ill? Did he have a premonition about his Amazon boss man?
