Amazon's EU head resigns after French court orders to limit deliveries

Amazon.com Inc's vice president of the European Union segment, Roy Perticucci, has stepped down, the company confirmed on Wednesday.

Perticucci joined Amazon in 2013, according to his profile on LinkedIn, and his departure comes at a time when the company is planning to close its warehouses in France until at least early next week.

A French court has ordered Amazon to limit its deliveries to essential goods, to limit the risk of a coronavirus contagion at its six warehouses across the country, which employ 10,000 permanent and interim workers.
