On Friday, Tim Cook will mark the seventh anniversary of his ascension as Apple Inc.’s seventh chief executive officer. At 57, he’s in his prime, and all signs point to a durable tenure. When Apple’s board named Cook CEO back in 2011, the directors signed him on for a decade with massive stock awards that finish vesting in the summer of 2021. (On his anniversary, Cook is set to collect stock worth about $120 million thanks to a run-up in Apple shares.)
Cook is the face of Apple. And design supremo Jony Ive is arguably the next-most important executive. But more than 100 other folks collectively help run the world’s most valuable company.
