Carol Surface To Step Down From Current CPO Position At Apple
She will be succeeded by a 30-year old Apple veteran Deirdre O'Brien, as manager of the retail and people teams.
Carol Surface, the company's first Chief People Officer (CPO), is stepping down from her current post within 20 month's of work tenure.
She will be succeeded by a 30-year old Apple veteran Deirdre O'Brien, as manager of the retail and people teams.
When Surface first joined Apple in early 2023, she was in charge of recruiting, inclusion, diversity, and human resources for the company's 160,000 employees.
When the position of Chief People Officer was established, O'Brien first gave Surface control over the human resources responsibilities.
This modification is a part of a larger reorganisation of Apple's leadership group.
-Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri is stepping down at the end of the year but will continue to oversee certain functions.
-Dan Riccio, a senior engineering executive who led the Vision Pro project, is retiring this month.
-The company’s procurement chief, Dan Rosckes, and App Store head, Matt Fischer, are also exiting.
Although Surface was still featured on Apple's executive profiles page as of Wednesday afternoon, a corporate representative verified the changes to the media.
