Joy Covey joined the legendary company in 1996 when the company was not so hot. It was the early days of online retail and a cover assignment to convince investors to put more money into the company. Jeff Bezos still operates online sites in his apartment and Covey goes to Wall Street and conveys messages and goals of the company to people who are still in darkness about all concepts. Amazon at that time was a company that was not profitable but Covey could attract hundreds of investors who appointed the company. It is a very difficult job for Covey because the company is undergoing a shaky financial stage. He still maintains investors during the Amazon finance decline in the 90s. Amazon Go Public on May 14, 1997, with a prime public offering price of $ 18. The shares were closed yesterday with a record of $ 312.06. After leaving the company in 2000 Ms. Covey continued to hold the title with the vice president and other executive offices to leave the Seattle giant in April 2000.
Amazon initially only sells books. Bezos sat and made a list of 20 products that would be sold online. He previously read an article about online trade projections. It is believed that ecommerce can grow 2,500% in the 90s and bezos see opportunities.
