Steve Jobs şi-a anunţat azi noapte demisia de la şefia Apple, printr-o scrisoare scurtă trimisă către consiliul director, dar adresată totodată şi comunităţii de utilizatori Apple.
Postul de CEO urmează să fie ocupat de Tim Cook, cel care a mai fost la conducerea companiei în perioadele când Steve Jobs a acuzat probleme de sănătate. De altfel, demisia de astăzi vine cel mai probabil tot pe fondul unor probleme medicale.
Steve Jobs este o personalitate emblematică din industria IT. Sub conducerea lui, Apple a ajuns cea mai profitabilă companie la nivel global.
Scrisoarea integrală a lui Steve Jobs:
"To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:
I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.
I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.
As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.
I believe Apple's brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.
I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.
Steve"
