Apple shakes up its leadership as Jeff Williams calls it quits after 15 years running operations. The tech giant announces Sabih Khan will take over Williams' job as Chief Operating Officer next month. Cook decides the design team will report straight to him instead of going through Jeff. Williams plans to stick around until he retires later this year to help the design crew. Khan has worked at Apple for three decades and currently runs operations as Senior Vice President.
Tim Cook raves about Khan's skills as a smart planner who helped build Apple's supply network. The incoming COO played a major role in expanding Apple's manufacturing across America. Cook credits Khan with bringing new manufacturing technologies to the company. Khan finally gets his shot at the top job after years of hard work. The CEO calls him one of the main people who shaped Apple's supply chain success.
Williams leaves behind a huge legacy at the company that makes iPhones and iPads. He helped launch the Apple Watch and guided its growth from the start. The departing executive also led Apple's push into health products that help people stay fit. Williams had his hands in creating both the iPod and iPhone programs. Cook says Apple would look completely different without Williams' contributions over the years.
