El nuevo CEO de Apple, John Ternus, toma el relevo de Tim Cook tras 15 años
John Ternus has been appointed as the new CEO of Apple, succeeding Tim Cook after a 15-year tenure. This leadership change comes at a critical time for the company as it aims to strengthen its position in artificial intelligence, an area where it has struggled to keep pace with competitors. Ternus, previously the Vice President of Hardware Engineering, is expected to leverage his experience with key Apple products while also managing significant supply chain and interpersonal challenges. Tim Cook will transition to executive chairman, supporting Ternus in maintaining Apple’s relationships in the political arena, including that of former President Trump, as they continue to navigate complex business landscapes.
