Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has reported on the potential successors to Apple’s CEO position after Tim Cook, though this transition may not happen anytime soon, Apple has already laid out its plans. Sources within Apple suggest that the most suitable candidate to take over immediately would be Jeff Williams, the current COO. This isn’t surprising as Gurman previously reported the same information 5 years ago, with Jeff Williams being the highlighted name.
However, the need for a new CEO may arise sooner than expected as reports indicate that Tim Cook has at least 3 more years as CEO. With Jeff Williams being 61 years old, 2 years younger than Tim Cook, there are questions about long-term succession. Another potential candidate is John Ternus, the current VP of Hardware Engineering, aged 49, and well regarded for his managerial capabilities similar to Tim Cook.
While other executives like Craig Federighi and Deirdre O’Brien have potential, reports suggest they are unlikely to be the next CEO. Phil Schiller and Dan Riccio are also looking to retire from Apple in the coming years.
TLDR: Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports on the potential successors to Apple’s CEO, with Jeff Williams and John Ternus being highlighted as frontrunners.
