Ex-Boeing Exec to Lead Amazon Drone Delivery Biz
For years, Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) has been mulling the best way to deliver its packages by drone. Now, the company is bringing in an outside executive from Boeing to make it happen.
As CNET reports (and LinkedIn confirms) today, Amazon this month hired ex-Boeing 787 program vice president David Carbon to serve as its vice president in charge of Prime Air, "Amazon's future drone delivery system designed to safely transport packages to customers in 30 minutes or less." At Amazon, Carbon will lead a team of "aviation, robotics, hardware, software and manufacturing experts in the development of Prime Air vehicles, systems and operations" working to make drone delivery a reality.
