La noticia que está remeciendo a los medios del mundo en este momento, tiene relación con Steve Jobs, el cual habría ha renunciado a su labor como CEO de Apple, pero de forma definitiva. Recordemos que a principios de año, a causa de su enfermedad habría dejado de participar como CEO de la empresa de forma temporal, dejandola en manos de Tim Cook, el hasta ahora Jefe de Operaciones de Apple (Chief Operating Officer).
[UPDATE] Luego del salto, la carta que Steve Jobs envió a la junta directiva de Apple
CUPERTINO, Calif.–August 24, 2011–To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:
I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know.
Unfortunately, that day has come.
I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.
As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.
I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.
I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.
Steve
