# Apple Gears Up for Executive Shake-Up — Here's Who's in the Succession Spotlight

**Apple Inc.** (NASDAQ:AAPL) is preparing for a significant reshuffling of its top brass.

Bloomberg’s **Mark Gurman**, in his latest “Power On" report revealed that the tech giant is set to witness a series of departures from its executive team, including CEO **Tim Cook**.

The first move came from Chief Operating Officer **Jeff Williams**, who stepped away from his operations duties in July and is slated to leave the company by the end of the year.

Uncertainty surrounds the future of John Giannandrea, head of artificial intelligence, whose department’s challenges have prompted Apple to scout for new AI leadership externally. **Johny Srouji**, who heads the hardware technologies group, is also contemplating his future at the company.

Potential successors for these key roles include **Zongjian Chen** and **Sri Santhanam**, who are in charge of the modem group and main device processors, respectively. **Lisa Jackson**, who spearheads Apple’s eco-friendly initiatives, has also hinted at retirement.

However, the most notable change will be the exit of CEO Tim Cook, who is turning 65 next month. **John Ternus**, the current hardware engineering chief, is the front-runner to succeed Cook. Ternus, 50, is highly respected within the Apple community and enjoys Cook’s trust, making him a likely choice for the top job.

This impending executive shakeup at Apple is a significant event as it could potentially impact the company’s strategic direction and operational efficiency.

The departure of key executives, particularly CEO Tim Cook, who has been instrumental in shaping Apple’s growth trajectory, will certainly leave big shoes to fill. The new leadership will have the task of maintaining Apple’s innovative edge and market dominance, amidst growing competition and evolving consumer demands.

The way the company navigates this transition will be crucial for its future success.
