The 'Tim Cook era' at Apple is coming to an end as John Ternus prepares to take over as the company's new CEO.
While shareholders discuss Cook's financial legacy, social media users are digging into Ternus' sparse LinkedIn profile.
Ternus' profile mentions his education, including a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania, and his job roles, including 24 years at Apple.
As Apple's senior vice president of Hardware Engineering, Ternus has been in charge of all hardware engineering, including teams behind iPhone, iPad, Mac, and more.
Despite his success, Ternus keeps his personal life under wraps, and there is no publicly available information about his marriage or background.
Ternus' net worth is estimated to be in the millions, with an annual base salary of around $1 million.
Tim Cook has praised Ternus, saying he has the 'mind of an engineer, the soul of an innovator, and the heart to lead with integrity and with honor.'
Ternus has expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to lead Apple and has promised to lead with the company's values and vision.
