When Tim Cook steps down as Apple CEO in September, he’ll have set a Tim Cook has been the company’s longest-serving head honcho, having served as CEO for nearly 15 years from August 2011 to September 2026.
He even beat out Steve Jobs’ longevity.
The late Jobs served as CEO for 14 years during his second tenure (1997–2011). The other CEO guys (nope, so gals — yet) and their tenures are:
° Gil Amelio (1996-1997);
° Michael Spindler (1993-1996);
° John Sculley (1983-1993);
° Mike Markkula (1981-1983);
Mike Markkula
° Michael Scott (1977-1981).
Here’s hoping Cook’s replacement, John Ternus, has a long and successful run.
