During this night, Steve Jobs made an announcement that shocked the whole world, he resigned from the head of one of the largest companies in the world. For more than half a year, Steve Jobs was on medical leave and the interim CEO was Tim Cook, the former COO of the Cupertino company. In these last months, Steve Jobs was actively involved in the management of the company, in establishing the long-term strategy, in organizing the process of product development, but we must not forget the fact that he presented the iPad 2 to the whole world and he was also the one who held the opening speech of the WWDC annual conference.
Practically in the last months, Steve Jobs stayed away from the eyes of the media and worked quietly on his projects without "officially" having the title of CEO. Steve Jobs is a member of Apple's board of directors, the one that chooses the company's CEO, and the resignation announced today has nothing to do with the position held within this board. Practically, Steve Jobs will remain an active member of the board of directors and will oversee the direction in which the company will evolve, but he will of course have the opportunity to be actively involved in any Apple project.
The last months have prefaced what we will see from now on, an Apple company in which Steve Jobs is not officially in the foreground, but a company that remains under his "guidance". Apple is not without the genius called Steve Jobs, Apple is without CEO Steve Jobs, but the founder of the company will continue to be actively involved in everything related to Apple. In conclusion, Steve Jobs is not leaving Apple but taking a less public position within the company.
