April 19 (Reuters) - Amazon.com's ( AMZN ) advertising

chief Colleen Aubrey, who has held that role for nearly three

years, is moving to a new undisclosed position at the company.

Spokeswoman Kristin Mariani said Aubrey's new position would

be announced later.

Aubrey is also a member of the elite "S-team," which advises

CEO Andy Jassy and has worked in the advertising unit for over

11 years. Mariani confirmed Aubrey is stepping aside as senior

vice president of advertising products and tech in response to a

Reuters inquiry.

Mariani didn't respond to questions about who is replacing

Aubrey nor the reasons behind the change. Advertising sales

under Aubrey have grown rapidly, jumping 24% to $47 billion in

2023 from $38 billion in 2022. The company recently began

inserting ads into its Prime Video streaming offering.

"An update on Colleen's next role will be shared at a later

date," said Mariani in an email. Aubrey didn't immediately

respond to a request for comment.
