All the rave about Steve Jobs and what he did for Apple but nobody seems to give credit for the fact that Tim architectured the $3 trillion company Apple is today. Steve convinced Tim to join Apple at a time when he was the chief of supply chain at Compaq (at that time, one among the most coveted jobs you can have in tech industry) Right after he joined Apple, he cleaned house and moved all manufacturing to China, made strategic alliances with contract manufacturers, and set up supply chain to secure chips which provided a strategic advantage over HP during global chip shortage. At that time, market analyst would claim that somehow Tim can see the future - that’s how razor sharp his strategic decisions were. I don’t even want to get into the depth of what he has done for the company after Steve job passed away - Apple Watch, Apple Pay, AirPods, M1 chip that cleaned house Intel chips business, all the iPhone devices, and finally Vision Pro. Besides all this, he is a big philanthropist and is planning on leaving his >$1 billion fortune to NGOs and orphanage. All he does is work and his entire life revolves around his work ethics. I’m not entirely sure how long he plans to stay as a CEO for, but super grateful to be working for this legend while it lasts. TC 340
Don't forget layoffs
And he is gay
Great post, Tim 🍎.
Tim and Ballmer accomplishments are similar. Scale up existing business, and while doing so make $$$ to the company but launch nothing new that mattered to the world.
Apple Watches and AirPods don’t matter to you, isn’t it?
is OP comparing creating one the most iconic companies in history with just being CEO? oh god hahaha
It’s about time we credit Tim with running Apple to the ground. 0 innovation - same phone with tiny incremental update released every year, terrible AI in Siri that almost gets everything wrong, failed Apple car project, disastrous vision pro headset, and now another disaster waiting to happen in home robot. Tim is not even 1% of Steve Jobs, heck he’s not even 0.1% of Zuck, Musk or Nadella
Don’t forget Apple Car too!! Oh wait…
How are your free massages and hot meals post layoff? 😂
Fine, why? Jokes aside, I would gladly get rid of those if that would prevent layoffs.
