The topic Apple splits hardware team into five key areas, per report is currently the subject of lively discussion — readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.
This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies’ decisions and competitors’ reactions can quickly change the picture.
As part of Apple’s reorganization elevating John Ternus to CEO, the company also promoted Johny Srouji to a broader new chief hardware officer role. With this move, the company combined its hardware engineering and hardware technologies divisions into a single organization, overseen by Srouji.
In an email to employees on Monday, Srouji outlined how he plans to organize things in this new structure.
As reported by Bloomberg, Srouji will organize the combined hardware engineering and hardware technologies group into five areas:
“As part of this transition, I’ve been asked to step into the role of Chief Hardware Officer and to combine the hardware technologies and hardware engineering teams under a single organization. I am excited to bring these teams together, to integrate them further, and to help us innovate in an even bigger way than we already do. As you know, we have a very exciting road map ahead, and I believe there is no limit to what we can achieve together.
Srouji also told his team that Cook “made the very best choice for who should succeed him” in Ternus. “Those of us who have had the chance to work closely with John know how thoughtful and capable he is,” Srouji added.
