Apple® today announced Dan Riccio will transition to a new role
focusing on a new project and reporting to CEO Tim Cook, building
on more than two decades of innovation, service, and leadership at
Apple. John Ternus will now lead Apple’s Hardware Engineering
organization as a member of the executive team.
“Every innovation Dan has helped Apple bring to life has made us
a better and more innovative company, and we’re thrilled that he’ll
continue to be part of the team,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO.
“John’s deep expertise and wide breadth of experience make him a
bold and visionary leader of our Hardware Engineering teams. I want
to congratulate them both on these exciting new steps, and I’m
looking forward to many more innovations they’ll help bring to the
world.”
Riccio has been a leader in designing, developing, and
engineering almost all of Apple’s products. From the first
generation iMac to the more recent 5G iPhone® lineup, M1-based
Macs®, and AirPods Max™, Riccio built the Hardware Engineering
teams and scaled Apple’s ability to innovate across multiple new
product lines with the highest quality. After joining Apple in 1998
as a leader on the Product Design team, Riccio became vice
president of iPad® Hardware Engineering in 2010, and in 2012 he
joined the executive team as the leader of Hardware Engineering.
Riccio will continue to play an instrumental role in shaping the
future of Apple’s products in his new position as a vice president
of engineering.
“Working at Apple has been the opportunity of a lifetime, spent
making the world’s best products with the most talented people you
could imagine,” said Riccio. “After 23 years of leading our Product
Design or Hardware Engineering teams — culminating with our biggest
and most ambitious product year ever — it’s the right time for a
change. Next up, I’m looking forward to doing what I love most —
focusing all my time and energy at Apple on creating something new
and wonderful that I couldn’t be more excited about.”
Ternus takes on the role of senior vice president of Hardware
Engineering. Ternus joined Apple’s Product Design team in 2001 and
has been a vice president of Hardware Engineering since 2013.
Throughout his nearly 20 years at Apple, Ternus has overseen
hardware engineering work on a variety of groundbreaking products,
including the first generation AirPods®, and every generation of
iPad. Most recently, Ternus led the hardware team responsible for
the incredible iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro, and he has been a key
leader in the ongoing transition of the Mac to Apple silicon.
Ternus graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical
Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania.
Apple revolutionized personal technology with the introduction
of the Macintosh in 1984. Today, Apple leads the world in
innovation with iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV.
Apple’s five software platforms — iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and
