> I think this is Amazon's core strength: the continuity of leadership and vision that comes from having a single CEO who is deeply involved in everything.

Not only Amazon, it seems to be the case with other big tech companies:

- At Apple, this was famously 100% the case under Jobs. Under Tim Cook the company still very much seems cohesive on a single vision, is very, very focused in its products and from the outside it does look like upper-leadership takes credit for and oversees most things.

- Facebook still has Zuckerberg, which built the original product. Last I heard he was reorganizing the company so that "the heads of individual products, including WhatsApp, Instagram, and others, would report directly to him" [1].

I like how Zuckerberg is a "which", and not a "who". Seems fitting.

Oh, 100% accidental (not a native speaker). A good chuckle though haha.
