Steve Jobs 辭任 Apple CEO

早前，Steve Jobs 正式向 Apple 提出請辭 CEO 一職，並已獲董事局接納。CEO 將由 Tim Cook 接任，Steve Jobs 將繼續擔任公司主席一職。而董事局亦發出了聲明（Steve Jobs Resigns as CEO of Apple），肯定及表揚了 Steve Jobs 的價值：“Steve’s extraordinary vision and leadership saved Apple and guided it to its position as the world’s most innovative and valuable technology company”。

以下是 Steve Jobs 的公開信（Letter from Steve Jobs）：

“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 ”

中文翻譯如下（轉載至 Engadget 中文版 ）：

“我經常都說，如果有一天我不能再負擔起作為公司 CEO 的職責和達到人們對此的期望時，我總會第一時間讓您們知道。不幸地，那一天來臨了。

本人藉此宣佈辭任蘋果公司的 CEO 一職。如果董事會覺得我勝任的話，我會樂意擔任董事會主席和總監，繼續作為蘋果的員工。

至於 CEO 一職，我會強烈建議執行我們之前所訂下的計劃，委任 Tim Cook 成為繼任人。

我相信蘋果最明亮和最創新的日子會繼續到來。我期望以一個新的身分去觀察和為公司的成就作出貢獻。

我在蘋果裡遇上了其中幾位在我一生中最好的朋友，很感謝您們多年來跟我並肩作戰。

Steve 上”

新的 Apple Leadership：
