Apple’s Cook promotes Jeff Williams to inner circle

Apple has promoted long-time executive Jeff Williams to the role of chief operating officer – a job once held by Chief Executive Tim Cook, indicating he might be a number two.

The job was once seen as being the role of the heir apparent who takes over the job of Apple Messiah when the company leader is called to the last upgrade.

Williams joined Apple in 1998 and was the man who gave humanity the much-hyped much-delayed failure the Apple Watch, the company’s first new product since the iPad.

In charge of the iPhone maker’s supply chain, and service and support operations, he also looked after the company’s social responsibility initiatives.

Cook said in a statement that Jeff was the best operations executive he had ever worked with.
