Apple Names John Ternus CEO as Tim Cook Becomes Executive Chairman
Apple said John Ternus, its senior vice president of Hardware Engineering, will become the company’s next chief executive officer on Sept. 1, 2026, while Tim Cook transitions to executive chairman of Apple’s board of directors. The board unanimously approved the move as part of a long-term succession plan, and Cook will remain CEO through the summer to work closely with Ternus on the handoff.
Cook’s responsibilities as executive chairman will include assisting with certain aspects of the company, including engagement with policymakers around the world. Apple also said Ternus will join the board on Sept. 1, while current non-executive chairman Arthur Levinson will become lead independent director.
