Svmuu News Apple's next CEO, John Ternus, faces a significant challenge upon taking office: retaining top talent during a period of historic personnel changes. After several years of relative calm, Apple has recently experienced a wave of departures, affecting both the executive ranks and engineers at the grassroots level. Ternus, who will succeed Tim Cook as CEO in September, will be tasked with stabilizing the workforce.
Late last year, the highly-regarded head of the chip business, Johny Srouji, informed Cook that he was seriously considering leaving Apple. Apple recently managed to retain Srouji by offering him a new compensation package and a broader role—the company's first Chief Hardware Officer. Ternus will need to address succession issues and the potential departures of other executives, including Mike Rockwell, as well as several long-serving leaders approaching retirement. (Jin10)
