GoKawiilToday is John Ternus’s first day as Apple CEO. A new Bloomberg report has more details on other executive changes, plus tidbits on changes Ternus might make.
Luca Maestri
Bloomberg reports that Luca Maestri is stepping down as Apple’s “Corporate Services” leader. Maestri served as Apple CFO until January 2025, when he stepped down to take on a smaller role. As head of Corporate Services, Maestri oversaw information systems and technology, information security, and real estate and development.
According to today’s report, Maestri left that job “in recent weeks.” He is, however, still on Apple’s payroll. His only remaining responsibility is “hosting a popular class at Apple University, an in-house program for teaching Apple’s ways to rising executives and employees.”
Bloomberg says that Maestri’s Corporate Services tasks have been shifted to CFO Kevan Parekh.
Adrian Perica
Mark Gurman points out that Apple’s new Leadership page excludes Adrian Perica, its head of mergers and acquisitions.
