There are few opportunities for Apple to introduce a new chief executive, especially when Steve Jobs attracts all the attention as Apple’s one-man-show. Apple has clearly missed to build a #2 executive behind Steve Jobs in time. Most of the firm’s image is still based on Job’s reputation as the firm’s brain. There are few in this industry who could replace Jobs and it does not take much talent to predict that his departure, which will happen sooner or later will impact Apple’s stock when it is announced.
But why don’t take that hit when the stock is down anyway? We do not know Schiller personally, but we do not believe that he has the necessary charisma to replace Jobs. However, Schiller, who is currently senior vice president of worldwide product marketing at Apple, has been given more and more stage time at recent Apple events, so it is entirely possible that Schiller will be introduced as Apple’s new CEO today. Conclusion: Schiller will succeed Jobs as Apple’s next CEO. Whether that is the right choice is a different question.
The total CEO Options Apple has are :
Timothy D. Cook, Tony Fadell, Ron Johnson, Philip W. Schiller, Scott Forstall, Jonathan Ive, Peter Oppenheimer, Bertrand Serlet, Sina Tamaddon, Daniel Cooperman & Bob Mansfield
My bet is on Tim Cook. 😉
Well apple brain is every thing and if he lefts Apple wont be apple any more.
@Usman – You do have a point, but atleast like microsoft the company has to go on. Hope its not renamed from Apple to PineApple 😉
