SHARE A visitor to the LinkedIn profile of Werner Vogels, chief technology officer for Amazon.com Inc., will find an image of a warehouse with shelves of books stacked as far as the eye can see. The photo is a nod to both Amazon’s roots as an online bookseller and the massive computing infrastructure required to keep close track of every item in the company’s vast inventory. As a 16-year veteran of the firm, Vogels (pictured) has played a key role in both the rise of the largest retail platform in the world and the market dominance of the most widely used public cloud.
