Apparently a Mr. Jeff Williams has earned a new position at Apple. He is now the Senior Vice chairman of Operations and dedicated to to ensure that Apple\’s products meet \” the best standards of quality.\” Apple Insider speculates that the rationale he is being promoted to this position is because he is being groomed for a good better gig:
According to Apple, Williams also played a big role inside the company\’s entry into the cellular phone market with the launch of the iPhone, and he has led worldwide operations for iPod and iPhone since that time. In his new role, Williams will specialise in assuring product quality and lead a team of folks all over the world answerable for end-to-end supply chain management.
It\’s believed Apple is grooming Williams to take on Cook\’s role as chief operation officer inside the event that Cook takes over Steve Jobs\’ role as the company\’s chief executive. Cook has been profiled as one of the most likely successor to Jobs when Apple\’s iconic chief chooses to step down.
Whatever the case could be, congrats to Mr. Williams on the promotion. [Apple Insider]
