Hace unas horas atrás Steve Jobs renuncio al puesto de CEO de Apple.  Igualmente seguirá ligado a la compañía como presidente del directorio de la misma.

Jobs desde hace rato sufre problemas de salud que lo han alejado temporalmente del cargo y esta decisión se veía venir aunque nadie lo esperaba en estos días.

Su sucesor será Tim Cook que, el cual en una oportunidad cumplió la tarea de COO en Apple.  Este nombramiento no es sorpresa pues ya desde Enero se lo nombraba como su sucesor.

A continuación tienen las líneas que Steve Jobs le escribió al directorio y a la comunidad de Apple,

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
