真乄科技業的頂尖投資團隊

蘋果踏入了一個很大的轉捩點，因為 Steve Jobs 剛剛宣佈辭任 CEO，蘋果董事會隨即宣佈委任 Tim Cook 繼任 CEO。該公司稱：「Steve （憑著他）非凡的洞察力和領導才能挽救了蘋果，並且引領公司成為世界上最創新和最有價值的科技公司。」而蘋果公司確認了，Jobs 將會繼續擔任公司主席。

I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.


I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.


As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.


I believe Apple's brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.


I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.


Steve

我經常都說，如果有一天我不能再負擔起作為公司 CEO 的職責和達到人們對此的期望時，我總會第一時間讓您們知道。不幸地，那一天來臨了。


本人藉此宣佈辭任蘋果公司的 CEO 一職。如果董事會覺得我勝任的話，我會樂意擔任董事會主席和總監，繼續作為蘋果的員工。


至於 CEO 一職，我會強烈建議執行我們之前所訂下的計劃，委任 Tim Cook 成為繼任人。


我相信蘋果最明亮和最創新的日子會繼續到來。我期望以一個新的身分去觀察和為公司的成就作出貢獻。


我在蘋果裡遇上了其中幾位在我一生中最好的朋友，很感謝您們多年來跟我並肩作戰。
