Apple Makes Shifts in Senior Management; New York Times, 12/17/15

Katie Benner, New York Times; Apple Makes Shifts in Senior Management:

"Apple’s chief executive, Timothy D. Cook, is continuing to make over the company’s executive ranks.

On Thursday, Apple made several shifts in its senior management team, including the promotion of a longtime executive, Jeff Williams, to the job of chief operating officer, a position that had gone unfilled since 2011...

The changes, which include new leadership in the company’s hardware and marketing divisions, are the latest executive moves by Mr. Cook, who became chief of Apple in 2011. Early in his tenure, Mr. Cook shook up the management team that had been put in place by his predecessor, Steven P. Jobs, by pushing out Scott Forstall, the mobile software head."
