Key Apple Silicon Executive johny Srouji Considering Departure
CUPERTINO, CA – Johny Srouji, Apple’s senior vice president of Hardware Technologies, is weighing a potential departure from the company, according to a new report from Bloomberg. Srouji, the architect of Apple’s industry-leading silicon program, has informed colleagues he is considering opportunities with othre firms.
The possible exit comes as Apple undergoes a significant internal reorganization widely believed to be preparing for the eventual succession of CEO Tim Cook. Srouji’s departure would mark the fifth high-profile executive transition at Apple in recent days, following announcements from design lead Alan Dye, AI chief john Giannandrea, general counsel Kate Adams, and environment/policy VP Lisa Jackson.
Srouji’s potential move isn’t driven by retirement, but by a desire for a new career challenge. Apple has reportedly responded with “considerable” pay packages and the offer of a promotion to chief Technology Officer – a position that would make him second-in-command to the CEO. sources indicate Srouji “would prefer not to work under a different CEO,” suggesting a strong loyalty to current leadership.
Bloomberg’s report also notes that retail chief Dierdre O’Brien and marketing SVP Greg Joswiak are likely candidates for retirement in the near future, given their long tenures at Apple (35-40 years).The wave of departures underscores a period of transition for the tech giant as it navigates its future leadership and strategic direction.
