Amazon recently promoted two senior sales executives at its clouding computing unit as part of a broader push to get more large companies to use its services, The Information has learned.
With the promotions, Amazon Web Services is divvying up the role previously held by Mike Clayville, a longtime sales chief who left in August for payments company Stripe. Greg Pearson, who had been leading AWS sales for the Americas since early last year, is now in charge of worldwide sales, while Teresa Carlson, a longtime AWS executive in charge of its worldwide public sector business, now also oversees sales to regulated industries such as health care and financial services, according to two people with direct knowledge of the matter.
