Apple's COO Jeff Williams Retires; Sabih Khan Takes Over

Apple has announced changes in its executive leadership. Jeff Williams, the current Chief Operating Officer (COO), will retire later this year. He will continue to oversee Apple's design team and Apple Watch until then, reporting directly to CEO Tim Cook. Meanwhile, Sabih Khan, Apple's senior vice president of Operations, will take over as the new COO.

Williams, who has been with Apple for 27 years, has played a pivotal role in the introduction of several key products and strategies. These include the iPod, iPhone, Apple Watch, and the company's health initiatives. After his retirement, Apple's design team will transition to report directly to Cook. Khan, who has been with the company for 30 years, will take over Williams' role as COO later this month. He has been overseeing Apple's global supply chain for the past six years and has significantly reduced the company's carbon footprint through environmental sustainability efforts. Cook praised Khan's leadership and strategic abilities.

Jeff Williams' retirement marks the end of an era at Apple. His contributions to the company's success are immeasurable. Sabih Khan, with his proven track record and extensive experience, is well-positioned to take the helm as the new COO. His appointment is expected to ensure a smooth transition and continued success for Apple.
