Washington DC, 21/4: Cook, Apple’s CEO, said Monday that he would step down after nearly 15 years running an operation that rode the wild popularity of the iPhone to become one of the most influential and valuable companies in the world.
Cook, 65, will move into a new role as Apple’s executive chair in September. On Monday, Apple named insider John Ternus (50) as its next CEO. At the same age when Tim Cook took over CEO duties from Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, Ternus marks his promotion.
