The company's CEO Bob Smith is stepping down after a rocky six years at the helm.
Amazon’s Project Kuiper, a constellation of internet satellites meant to rival SpaceX’s Starlink, is still waiting to reach to orbit after awarding three contracts worth around $1.7 billion to Blue Origin, United Launch Alliance, and Arianespace to launch most of the 3,236-satellites to low Earth orbit.
During his 13 years at Amazon, Blue Origin’s upcoming chief executive had some experience managing Project Kuiper, while also being in charge of the company’s consumer electronic devices like the Alexa voice assistant. “I’ve worked closely with Dave for many years.
. “Dave is a proven innovator with a customer-first mindset and extensive experience leading and scaling large, complex organizations. Dave has an outstanding sense of urgency, brings energy to everything, and helps teams move very fast.”Limp certainly has his work cut out for him as the new chief executive of Blue Origin, and that sense of urgency will need to kick into high gear.
