Career

Technology Journalism

Greg Bensinger works as a technology reporter for Reuters, where he covers major developments in the technology sector from the agency's San Francisco bureau. His reporting focuses heavily on Amazon, one of the world's most valuable companies, and encompasses a broad range of topics including corporate strategy, workforce management, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and consumer electronics.

Coverage of Amazon Corporate Layoffs

In late 2025 and early 2026, Bensinger reported extensively on a significant wave of corporate job cuts at Amazon. In October 2025, he co-authored an exclusive report revealing that Amazon was targeting as many as 30,000 corporate job cuts, which the report noted would mark Amazon's largest reduction in force since late 2022, when the company had begun eliminating approximately 27,000 positions.

Bensinger continued to follow the story as it developed. In January 2026, he reported that Amazon had confirmed 16,000 new layoffs, bringing the total cuts to 30,000 as CEO Andy Jassy reshaped operations and reduced bureaucracy within the company. In March 2026, he reported on additional layoffs within Amazon's robotics unit, confirming that the company had laid off staff across the division.

Reporting on Amazon's AI and Cloud Computing Strategy

Bensinger has reported on Amazon's significant investments in artificial intelligence and cloud computing infrastructure. In March 2026, he authored an exclusive report detailing statements made by Amazon CEO Andy Jassy during an internal all-hands meeting, in which Jassy said he expected artificial intelligence to double prior Amazon Web Services (AWS) sales projections to $600 billion by 2036.

In February 2026, Bensinger reported that Amazon expected to invest $12 billion in Louisiana as part of a plan to build data center infrastructure in the state, reflecting the company's broader expansion of cloud computing capacity to support growing demand for AI services.

Coverage of Amazon Devices and Product Development

Bensinger has also reported on Amazon's consumer electronics division. In October 2025, he reported on the departure of a fifteen-year veteran of Amazon's devices division who had been involved in developing many of the company's most recognizable gadgets, noting it was the second vice president to leave the devices division that month.

In March 2026, Bensinger authored an exclusive report revealing that Amazon was planning a return to the smartphone market more than a decade after the failure of its Fire Phone. The 2014 Fire Phone had been overseen directly by Amazon's leadership and was intended to compete with Apple and Samsung, but the device was commercially unsuccessful. Bensinger's reporting indicated that the company was pursuing a new attempt at entering the smartphone market.

Syndication and Reach

Bensinger's reporting for Reuters is regularly syndicated across a wide network of news outlets and financial platforms. His exclusive stories on Amazon have appeared on Yahoo Finance, MSN, New Orleans CityBusiness, WHTC, WTAQ, and numerous other media outlets, reflecting the broad interest in his coverage of one of the world's largest technology companies.
