As Apple's Steve Jobs Steps Down, Tim Cook Steps Up

NPR  

As Apple's Steve Jobs Steps Down, Tim Cook Steps Up The news last night that Apple Inc. co-founder and visionary Steve Jobs is giving up his post at CEO naturally leads to this question: Just who is Tim Cook, the Apple chief operating officer who has been tapped to take over as CEO? The Wall Street Journal writes that Cook "isn't the showman that Mr. Jobs is, but people who know him call him an 'operational genius' who was responsible for crafting Apple's current supply-chain system and helping to transform the company into one of the most efficient electronics manufacturers today." And it adds that Cook has been "handed the reins of the company three times — once in 2004 when Mr. Jobs was recuperating from pancreatic cancer surgery, once in early 2009 when he took a six-month medical leave of absence for a liver transplant and again in early 2011 for another unexplained medical leave." NPR's David Greene talks with Laura Sydell What's more, reports the San Jose Mercury News, "analysts say Jobs, who stepped away in January from day-to-day management to take his third medical leave in a decade, assembled a strong management team to execute the Cupertino company's strategy.
