Jeff Bezos, the founder and CEO of Amazon, is preparing to travel into space next month. But not only that. Bezos will also take a major step on July 5: he will step down as CEO of Amazon, a position that will be passed on to Andy Jassy, the current CEO of Amazon Web Services, the company's successful cloud services business.
