Palm Boss Jon Rubinstein Named to Amazon’s Board
Amazon added a new director to its board this morning, former Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein. In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday, Amazon said Rubinstein, who currently serves as general manager of Hewlett-Packard’s Palm Global Business, was granted a restricted stock award of 5,000 shares along with his appointment. Presumably, he’s filling the board seat vacated by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers partner John Doerr earlier this year.
