Amazon Health Services Head Neil Lindsay to Step Down July 1

Amazon announced Wednesday that Neil Lindsay will step down as senior vice president of Amazon Health Services on July 1. He will be replaced by Roy Schoenberg, cofounder of telemedicine provider Amwell. Lindsay joined Amazon more than 15 years ago and has led Amazon Health Services since 2021. The unit oversees the company's online pharmacy and the One Medical primary care chain.

Schoenberg will assume the role on July 1, according to a memo from Amazon worldwide retail chief Doug Herrington posted on the company website. Lindsay will remain at Amazon as an advisor through the end of the year. Herrington wrote that Schoenberg brings clinical expertise, technology vision, and experience building health-care businesses at scale.

Lindsay previously led Amazon's Prime subscription business and worldwide marketing for consumer devices. In a separate memo, Lindsay said he took the health services role to hire clinicians and technologists who understood health care and could expand Amazon's presence in the industry.

He stated that now is the right time to pass leadership to someone who can navigate the next phase. 9 billion. The company launched and later closed a telehealth service and a line of health wearables called Halo.
