Apple’s New CEO John Ternus Faces Test Leading Former Rivals and Senior Peers

A long-planned succession ushers in a hardware veteran to lead Apple’s next chapter. John Ternus will be tasked to manage an executive team of similarly seasoned leaders, many of whom are older than him and were, until recently, contenders for the top job.

After years of speculation and quiet succession planning, Apple announced yesterday (April 20) that Tim Cook will step down as CEO in September and be replaced by John Ternus, Apple’s current head of hardware engineering. Cook will transition into the role of executive chairman and welcome Ternus to the board. Needless to say, this is perhaps the most consequential leadership change in the tech world in years. A new leader at the helm of Apple will, in many ways, shape the future look and feel of devices used by billions of people worldwide.
