As much as we Apple fans hate to admit it, at some point Steve Jobs will step down as the CEO. Analysts, bloggers, and technology writers sometimes like to ponder exactly who would take over as CEO if Jobs were to leave Apple. The pondering hit a high following the WWDC Keynote when a number of publications posted on the frail look of Steve while he was on stage during the Keynote. Coming today, Fortune looks to answer those questions about Steve’s successor.
Fortune has posted 11 potential successors for the post Jobs era at Apple. Among the potential Apple executives up for the task according to Fortune:
- Tim Cook - COO
- Phil Schiller - SVP, Worldwide Product Marketing
- Scott Forstall - SVP, iPhone Software
- Jonathan Ive - SVP, Industrial Design
- Peter Oppenheimer - CFO
My money is on Tim Cook. He’s as involved with the day to day running of Apple as anyone in the company. Tim was also the interim CEO when Steve Jobs had his pancreatic cancer surgery in 2004. Tim’s also has a passion for cycling, which helps him in my book! Who do you think is the next CEO of Apple?
