John Ternus is officially set to take over as Apple CEO on September 1. Ahead of that, he’s shaping the team around him and has brought back a key hardware engineering executive who retired several years ago.
Bloomberg reports that Ternus has hired Laura Legros to join his management team. Legros retired in 2022 after serving as a VP of hardware engineering on Ternus’s team.
When she returns to the company, Legros will reportedly “act as a vice president working cross-functionally with different parts of the company.” She will report directly to Ternus when he takes over as CEO on September 1.
Mark Gurman has some context on Legros’s role at Apple before retiring:
Today’s Bloomberg report also outlines the ongoing preparation inside Apple for the transition from Cook to Ternus.
Gurman points out that Ternus will have a slew of executive changes to oversee in the coming years as multiple members of Apple’s leadership team approach retirement age. This includes the likes of App Store boss Phil Schiller and Luca Maestri, who oversees real estate and information systems.
