Apple's Jeff Williams Announces Retirement, Sabih Khan to Succeed as COO
In a surprising move, Apple's Chief Operating Officer, Jeff Williams, has announced his retirement, effective later this month. Williams, who has been with Apple for nearly three decades, has been a key figure in the company's success, leading the development of the Apple Watch and playing significant roles in the introductions of the iPod and iPhone programs.
During the interim period before his full retirement, Williams will continue to report directly to CEO Tim Cook. He will also maintain oversight of the design team and the Apple Watch division. Williams' retirement decision is due to a desire to spend more time with family, including grandchildren.
Sabih Khan, currently Senior Vice President of Operations, will officially become Apple's Chief Operating Officer on the date of Jeff Williams' full retirement. Khan, born in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, has been with Apple since 1995 and was notably responsible for overseeing Apple's global operations and supply chain, earning the description of Apple's "central architect" of operations.
Following Williams' complete departure, the design team will transition to reporting directly to CEO Tim Cook. Khan, who will succeed Williams as COO, has a rich history with Apple and is well-equipped to take on this new role.
Jeff Williams' contributions to Apple cannot be overstated. His leadership and dedication have been instrumental in the company's growth and success. As he steps into a new chapter of his life, we wish him all the best and thank him for his years of service.
Meanwhile, Sabih Khan's appointment as COO marks an exciting new chapter for Apple. With his extensive experience and proven track record, he is poised to lead the company forward in its continued pursuit of innovation and excellence.
