Apple has implemented a series of leadership changes within its hardware engineering and technology divisions. The company recently placed these teams under the leadership of Johny Srouji, who now serves as the chief hardware officer.
Two senior display technology executives, Wei Chen and John Zhong, are transitioning into advisory roles. Both have been with the company for approximately 30 years and are preparing for retirement. Victor Yin has taken over a significant portion of their responsibilities regarding screen-related projects.
The company also announced the promotion of three new vice presidents in engineering: Rajesh Ambati, Louie Sanguinetti, and Derek Shaeffer. These executives focus on software and hardware technologies that facilitate internet connectivity for Apple devices. Sanguinetti is a long-term employee with decades of experience in wireless hardware.
Additionally, Carson Oliver has been appointed as a vice president overseeing the App Store business. Steve Smith has been named the new head of the corporate development department. These appointments align with the company's annual promotion cycle that typically occurs in October.
