Apple is preparing for a major leadership change: current CEO Tim Cook may leave his post, and John Ternus, head of hardware engineering, may become his successor. This was reported by Bloomberg, citing insiders, writes UNN.
Details
According to sources, Cook, who will celebrate his 65th birthday in November, is being offered a move to the board of directors, while Ternus, who is 50, would lead the company. According to experts, his age and experience will allow him to effectively manage Apple for another ten years.
Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman highlights several reasons for such a move: Apple needs a leader with a deep technical background, as the company is lagging in the areas of artificial intelligence, "smart home," and autonomous vehicles. Ternus is respected by employees and trusted by Cook, who has already delegated significant authority to him.
John Ternus has been with Apple since 2001. He started with the development of displays for MacBooks, then moved to the iPad division, managed AirPods and iPhone projects, and more recently became responsible for Apple Watch.
The company has not yet confirmed information about possible reshuffles. Earlier, in July, Bloomberg reported that despite the expected wave of changes in top management, Cook could remain CEO for at least another five years.
