Successor to Tim Cook as Apple CEO: Strongest Candidate Emerges
0
Apple, one of the most prominent and talked-about companies in the technology sector, has been in the spotlight recently due to the possible change in the CEO position.
Tim Cook, who took over as CEO after the passing of the company's co-founder Steve Jobs in 2011, turned 64 last November, which has been a significant factor in bringing this issue to the forefront.
Many sources indicate that Apple will continue the tradition of retiring CEOs of American companies at the age of 65, leading to speculations of a new CEO search in the near future.
As a result, several different names have already been included in rumors about who will succeed the famous executive at Apple.
According to renowned analyst Mark Gurman, the most likely candidate for Apple's next CEO is Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering, John Ternus.
Gurman suggests that the experienced engineer's track record of success so far, coupled with his relatively young age compared to other executives, puts him a step ahead as a candidate for the CEO position.
Analysts note that Ternus, who has a strong track record at Apple, has been more visible not only during company presentations but also in interviews in recent years.
This increased visibility has led investors to consider the successful engineer as a potential new CEO. Additionally, rumors suggest that Ternus has been taking individual steps towards becoming the next CEO by increasingly assuming a more independent role in high-level internal meetings within the company.
