AWS global HR head Paz Patel appears to have left the company for Viasat Inc., according to a July release from an executive recruiting firm and his LinkedIn profile. His departure comes as the cloud giant probes employee complaints of discrimination and harassment within the organization.
The investigation was launched after over 550 Amazon employees signed a petition claiming that the existing process to evaluate such reports is not "fair, objective or transparent."
An AWS spokesperson didn't immediately respond to request for comment.
