Despite rumors, Apple’s senior vice president of hardware technologies, Johny Srouji, says he’s not going anywhere. At least anytime soon.
“I love my team, and I love my job at Apple, and I don’t plan on leaving anytime soon,” said Srouji, in a memo obtained by Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman.
Here’s what he had to say: I know you’ve been reading all kind of rumors and speculations about my future at Apple, and I feel that you need to hear from me directly. I am proud of the amazing Technologies we all build across Displays, Cameras, Sensors, Silicon, Batteries, and a very wide set of technologies, across all of Apple Products. Together we enable the best products in the world. I love my team, and I love my job at Apple, and I don’t plan on leaving anytime soon.
It must be noted that it was Gurman who started the rumors that Srojui was considering leaving Apple for another company. In a December 6 report, he said that, “From the report: Johny Srouji — senior vice president of hardware technologies and one of Apple’s most respected executives — recently told [CEO Tim] Cook that he is seriously considering leaving in the near future, according to people with knowledge of the matter. Srouji, the architect of Apple’s prized in-house chips effort, has informed colleagues that he intends to join another company if he ultimately departs.”
Srouji joined joined Apple in 2008 to lead development of A4, the first Apple-designed system on a chip. Prior to Apple, Srouji held senior positions at Intel and IBM in the area of processor development and design.
He earned both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Computer Science from Technion, Israel’s Institute of Technology. Last year he was rumored to be a contender as the new CEO of Intel, but that never happened.
