Is This CEO the Next Jeff Bezos?

Jeff Bezos is a visionary leader, but he went through a rough patch during the dot-com crash, just like this CEO is going through right now.

By Travis Hoium and Jon Quast – Jan 13, 2023 at 3:00PM EST

Jeff Bezos is a legendary CEO, but he wasn't always seen that way. From 2000 to 2002, Amazon (AMZN 1.47%) stock dropped over 90% and the company almost didn't survive. Workers were laid off, and investors questioned his vision, but that's when the groundwork was laid for his ultimate rise. One CEO reminds us a lot of Bezos.
