Even though Tim Cook is relatively young, and has been at the head of Apple for many years, everything has a beginning and an end, and that of CEO of the company of the apple, could be close to completing its cycle, something that many fear, although others see it as hope for greater changes.
Today we will talk a little about the news we have regarding this, since, like everything, they are rumors that do not depend on us, and that it will be Tim Cook himself who decides to make it a reality in the near future, or wait a longer time.
Will Tim Cook leave Apple soon?
A recent report from the Financial Times suggests that Tim Cook He could leave his position as Apple CEO “as soon as next year.” The company has accelerated its plans to ensure an orderly leadership transition, according to people close to the process. That is, not wait for something like what Steve Jobs unfortunately suffered to happen, but rather for the public to see it as something slow and gradual.
The best positioned candidate to succeed Cook would be John Ternuscurrent senior vice president of hardware engineering. Even so, Apple has not allowed anything to be confirmed definitively: there would not be a formal decision yet, although the preparations are much more advanced than usual, and than we surely know.
Contrary to what might seem logical, this move would not be motivated by a bad moment for Apple. On the contrary, sources consulted by the report assure that it is not related to its current performance: Apple is expected to have a spectacular close to the year in sales, especially with the iPhone during the holiday season.
Another interesting fact is that The company does not plan to announce a new CEO until after its next financial report, scheduled for late January.which will cover precisely that key sales period. This caution reflects that, although the replacement is on the table, the exact date could still change.
Furthermore, this succession rumor comes at a time of major internal reorganization: Jeff Williams, former chief operating officer, has already left Apple, and his responsibilities have been redistributed among other executives, including Ternus. At the same time, Apple has changed its CFO: Luca Maestri has left and his place has been taken by Kevan Parekh.
In short, Apple seems to be preparing a new stage. Although Cook remains in his position, everything indicates that a replacement could materialize in the coming months. It remains to be seen when it will become official and in what direction Ternus (or whoever ultimately confirms) will take the company. All this at a good time, thus not allowing anything bad to happen, and being perfect for a slow replacement, since we do not believe that Tim Cook will move away too much, he will simply introduce this new CEO so that everyone sees him favorably, without affecting the value of the company or the planned launches.
And you, do you think Tim Cook could stay a few more years, or is it a good decision at the current moment? Leave us a comment with your opinion.
