“It’s sad and very disappointing to me,” Jeff Blackburn, Amazon’s senior VP of Business Development. Blackburn went on to say that Amazon programming chief Roy Price is “on a leave of absence for an indefinite period of time.” He adds: “Amazon does not tolerate harassment or abuse of our employees or our business partners. If a concern is brought to our attention, we investigate it quickly and thoroughly. Sometimes we will hire an outside investigator to ensure impartiality.” ALSO: Amazon might bring in a female executive to replace Price.
