Steve Jobs stopper som topchef for Apple.
Apple om Steve Jobs exit: Vi har vidst det i årevis
Apples berømte topchef, Steve Jobs, trækker sig fra posten og overlader den daglige ledelse af selskabet til sin løjtnant, Tim Cook, der i mange år har stået for den daglige, praktiske drift af selskabet.
I en udsendt meddelelse antyder Steve Jobs, at hans exit skyldes hans kræftsygdom, som har plaget ham i syv år og som har været grunden til, at han flere gange har været sygemeldt i lang tid.
I meddelelsen skriver han, at han ikke længere kan løfte sine pligter og møde forventningerne til stillingen som topchef i Apple.
Se hele Steve Jobs' brev herunder.
I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.
I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.
As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.
I believe Apple's brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.
I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.
Steve
