Ring founder Jamie Siminoff returned to Amazon this week, coming back to the company just about two years after he left, Bloomberg reports. Hes now a vice president at the company, and he will be heading up the Ring, Blink, Amazon Key, and Sidewalk teams.Siminoff is replacing Liz Hamren, who had taken over following Siminoffs initial departure. Hamren and the team have done an awesome job driving the business, delivering strong results, and bringing a lot of delightful experiences to neighbors, Siminoff says in an Amazon Q&A. He adds that the AI transformation happening right now is a once-in-a-generation opportunity.In the Q&A, Siminoff also says that he and Panos Panay, Amazons SVP of devices and services, have talked a lot about experiences we can create with devices that are awesome on their own, but even better together. I think youll continue to see a lot of that from us moving forward helping customers stay safe, connected, and informed as part of a magical connected experience.The day after Siminoff originally left Amazon, Siminoff sold a new company, Honest Days Work, to Latch, which he helped rebrand to Door.com. The company announced late last year that he would be moving into an advisory role in 2025.
