Launched by Jeff Bezos from a Seattle garage, Amazon reinvented global commerce: express delivery, a marketplace open to third-party sellers, Prime membership. Nearly one in two parcels shipped in the US goes through its logistics.
Its other pillar, Amazon Web Services, invented the modern cloud and hosts a vast share of the world’s Internet — and is the group’s main profit engine, far ahead of e-commerce.
