Steve Jobs Steps Down Temporarily for Health Reasons Posted Jan 14, 2009 04:48pm EST by Dan Frommer Related: aapl, ^ixic
From Silicon Alley Insider, Jan. 14, 2009:
Apple (AAPL) CEO Steve Jobs will take a medical week of absence until the end of June. Apple COO Tim Cook will take over for Steve Jobs until then. Trading is halted.
More to come.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs today sent the following email to all Apple employees:
Team,
I am sure all of you saw my letter last week sharing something very personal with the Apple community. Unfortunately, the curiosity over my personal health continues to be a distraction not only for me and my family, but everyone else at Apple as well. In addition, during the past week I have learned that my health-related issues are more complex than I originally thought.
In order to take myself out of the limelight and focus on my health, and to allow everyone at Apple to focus on delivering extraordinary products, I have decided to take a medical leave of absence until the end of June.
I have asked Tim Cook to be responsible for Apple's day to day operations, and I know he and the rest of the executive management team will do a great job. As CEO, I plan to remain involved in major strategic decisions while I am out. Our board of directors fully supports this plan.
I look forward to seeing all of you this summer.
Steve
Additionally, Tim Cook will serve as interim CEO.
