Dan Rosckes, Apple’s vice president of Global Sourcing and Supply Management, is retiring after more than two decades at the tech giant, reports Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.
He adds that Rosckes will be replaced by his long-time deputy, David Tom (pictured below), who became an Apple employee in 2003. Tom led the company’s procurement of batteries, silicon, and wireless components.
“Rosckes, whose title is vice president of global sourcing and supply management, has been responsible for obtaining components and reaching agreements with suppliers,” Gurman writes. “It’s a vital role at a company known for driving a hard bargain with vendors — an approach that bolsters the profit margins of iPhones, iPads and other products.”
Rosckes has held his current position at Apple since December 2000. Prior to that, he was the Director of Procurement at Compaq Computer Corporation from January 1987 to December 2000. Rosckes has a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering (1984) from Purdue University and a Master of Business Administration in Business from the University of St. Thomas (TX).
