Investing.com -- Former Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) executive Tom Taylor has been appointed to lead the $10 billion Bezos Earth Fund, taking over from Andrew Steer who stepped down as CEO in February.

Taylor, who previously served as senior vice president for Alexa at Amazon, will assume the roles of chief executive and president at the climate-focused organization. The Bezos Earth Fund was established using the personal fortune of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos with the mission to invest in tackling climate change within this decade.

"I am excited to work with Jeff and Lauren to implement their vision and grateful to inherit an incredibly capable and mission driven team," Taylor said in a post on LinkedIn on Tuesday.

Taylor had announced his retirement from Amazon in 2022 after spending over 20 years with the e-commerce and technology giant.
