Amazon’s latest decision to cut around 16000 corporate roles globally has once again brought attention to Beth Galetti, the senior executive who communicated the move to employees. Beth Galetti joined Amazon in 2013 as a vice president in its human resources division after spending nearly a decade at FedEx, where she held senior roles in technology and operations. Today, Galetti oversees large scale HR operations and technology systems that support more than a million Amazon employees worldwide. Galetti holds a Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Lehigh University and an MBA from Colorado Technical University. US-based employees affected by the cuts will be given 90 days to look for other internal roles within Amazon.
