[Apple's New CEO Faces Retention Challenge: Rising Pressure from Executive and Engineer Turnover] Odaily Planet Daily reports: Apple's next CEO, John Ternus, is facing a major challenge as he takes office—retaining top talent during a historic period of personnel changes. After years of relative stability, Apple has recently experienced a wave of departures, affecting both executives and grassroots engineers. Ternus, who will succeed Tim Cook as CEO in September, is tasked with stabilizing the workforce. Late last year, the highly regarded head of Apple's chip division, Johny Srouji, informed Cook that he was seriously considering leaving the company. Apple recently managed to retain Srouji by offering him a new compensation package and a broader role—becoming the company's first Chief Hardware Officer. Ternus will need to address succession planning and the potential departure of other executives, including Mike Rockwell and several long-serving leaders nearing retirement. (Jin10)
