In this latest “Power On” newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that Apple exec Laura Legros has retired. She was a vice president of hardware engineering and introduced new MacBook Air and iPad models at launches in recent years.
“I wouldn’t be surprised to see at least a couple more people leave in the coming weeks,” Gurman writes. “The number of Apple vice presidents is roughly 100, so having so many depart in such a short period of time certainly stands out—as does the ongoing brain drain in key departments, such as the critical industrial design team.”
Here are the Apple vices presidents and other high-level executives who have departed—or announced the intention to leave—in the past few months:
- Evans Hankey, vice president of industrial design
- Mary Demby, chief information officer
- Jane Horvath, chief privacy officer
- David Smoley, vice president of software engineering
- John Stauffer, vice president of software engineering
- Anna Matthiasson, vice president of online retail
- Tony Blevins, vice president of procurement
- Laura Legros, vice president of hardware engineering
