Johny Srouji set to take broader role as Apple's chief hardware officer - 9to5Mac

Alongside today’s announcement that Apple CEO Tim Cook is stepping down, Apple has also elevated Johny Srouji.

Effective immediately, Srouji is becoming Apple’s chief hardware officer, taking on a broader role overseeing Hardware Engineering.

In a press release, Apple explains that John Ternus most recently oversaw the Hardware Engineering team in his role as Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering. Srouji, meanwhile, most recently served as Senior Vice President of Hardware Technologies.

Ternus, of course, is now the incoming Apple CEO and set to take over from current CEO Tim Cook on September 1.

Under this change, Srouji will have an expanded role as Apple’s chief hardware officer, overseeing both hardware engineering and technologies.
