CNBC informó que Steve Jobs dejará la silla de CEO de Apple, al menos hasta junio para atender su salud. Tim Cook, COO de la compañía tomará las riendas de forma interina. Jobs le envió el siguiente correo elctrónico a sus empleados:
“Team,
I am sure all of you saw my letter last week sharing something very personal with the Apple community. Unfortunately, the curiosity over my personal health continues to be a distraction not only for me and my family, but everyone else at Apple as well. In addition, during the past week I have learned that my health-related issues are more complex than I originally thought.
In order to take myself out of the limelight and focus on my health, and to allow everyone at Apple to focus on delivering extraordinary products, I have decided to take a medical leave of absence until the end of June.
I have asked Tim Cook to be responsible for Apple’s day to day operations, and I know he and the rest of the executive management team will do a great job. As CEO, I plan to remain involved in major strategic decisions while I am out. Our board of directors fully supports this plan.
I look forward to seeing all of you this summer.“
En los últimos meses se ha estado especulando acerca de la salud de Jobs debido a su notable pérdida de peso y frágil apariencia física y más aún por estar ausente del MacWorld. Esto ya está afectando el precio de las acciones de Apple y tomando en cuenta que indudablemente Steve Jobs es el alma de Apple, sin dudas estamos ante una gran interrogante respecto al futuro inmediato de la comañia de Cupertino.
