Worked in IBM 12 years, responsible for the manufacturing and distribution business of PC department in North America and Latin America. 1At the beginning of 998, Cook joined Apple as vice president, in charge of Apple's computer manufacturing business.

20 1 1 On August 25th, Steve Jobs resigned as CEO and was replaced by Tim Cook. Cook also joined Apple's board of directors. The board of directors appointed Tim Cook, former chief operating officer, as the new CEO of the company, and Jobs was elected as the chairman of the board. Cook will join the board of directors, and the decision will take effect immediately.

Jobs's evaluation of him is:

Tim Cook is the best employee I have recruited so far. James McClune, the former CEO of Apple, found it difficult to find a suitable candidate after 1997. I can't tap the potential from within the company, and I haven't found the right person from people I know. This work lasted for nine months until we found Tim Cook.

After Tim joined Apple, we fundamentally changed the supply process of PC business. In addition to completely adjusting Apple's supply chain, Cook also led the company into new markets.
