Amazon CEO Andy Jassy sent a message to employees saying he was "incredibly relieved" that Alexander (Sasha) Troufanov was released from Hamas captivity after being held hostage for nearly 500 days.
"I’m incredibly relieved to share the news that our AWS teammate, Sasha Troufanov, who had been held hostage since the October 7, 2023, attacks in Israel, has been released from captivity," Jassy wrote in a message to employees.
Jassy says that the company had a team of experts working with Troufanov’s family "behind the scenes" to secure his release. The exec explained that Amazon "painfully" could not comment on Troufanov’s abduction publicly "for fear that we would negatively impact their ability to be released or how they were treated in captivity."
