Jeff Bezos in his 2017 Shareholder Letter said:
“Our customers are divinely discontent. Their expectations are never static – they go up. It’s human nature. People have a voracious appetite for a better way, and yesterday’s ‘wow’ quickly becomes today’s ‘ordinary’. We therefore cannot rest on our laurels in this world. Customers won’t have it.”

This roll will be fun; it will challenge you to think big, execute, and deliver results for our customers and shareholders.
