John Ternus has stepped into the role of CEO at Apple Inc., succeeding Tim Cook in September 2023. His primary challenge is to retain top talent during a period of significant turnover. Recently, Johny Srouji, a key figure in Apple's chip development, considered leaving due to burnout. In response, Cook created a new compensation package and promoted Srouji to chief hardware officer, consolidating leadership roles to streamline operations.
