Today we woke up with the sad news that Steve Jobs, until now chief executive of Apple, has left his position as such.
The company co-founder of Apple has addressed the Board with the following letter:
I've always said if you ever since the day he could not fulfill my duties and expectations as CEO of Apple, you would be the first to know. Unfortunately, that day has arrived.
I leave my position as CEO of Apple. I like to serve, if the Council considers it appropriate, as Chairman of the Board, director and employee of Apple.
As for my successor, I recommend that we conduct our succession plan and the appointment of Tim Cook as the new CEO of Apple.
I believe the brightest days and most innovative Apple are yet to come, and hope to see and contribute to its success from this new role.
I have made some of the best friends of my life in Apple, and I thank all these years I've been able to work with him.
Steve
Thus, Apple's COO, Tim Cook becomes the new CEO of the company. And for his part, Steve Jobs becomes the director of the Board. We could say that Tim Cook already knows his "new role", and put it in quotes because Cook is the acting CEO since January this year, as he himself has been replaced in their low Jobs temporary health problems.
According to leading analysts do not expect any consequences in the short term at least, although the shares have already fallen by 5% since been made public the resignation of Steve.
