Share:
Tim Cook will step down as Apple's chief executive officer on September 1, ending his 15-year tenure at the helm of the world's most valuable technology company. John Ternus, a longtime Apple executive and hardware expert, will succeed Cook as CEO. Ternus has worked at Apple for 25 years and has spent the last five years overseeing technology development for the company's flagship iPhone, iPad, and Mac product lines. The leadership transition represents a major change at the top of Apple, which has become synonymous with Cook's management style since he took over from company founder Steve Jobs in 2011.
