14 DAY TRIAL // With the revamping of its Press Info site, Apple has added a new Executive Profiles page featuring all new photos of the executives at Apple, as well as their accompanying biographies.
Listed in the executive team at Apple are Steve Jobs (CEO), Tim Cook (COO), Scott Forstall (SVP of iOS), Jonathan Ive (SVP of Design), Ron Johnson (SVP of Retail, though not for long), Bob Mansfield (SVP of Mac Hardware Engineering), Peter Oppenheimer (SVP and CFO), Jeff Williams (SVP Operations), Phil Schiller (SVP of Marketing), and Bruce Sewell (SVP and General Counsel).
Of the ten Apple high-ups we mentioned above, there’s a certain Steve Jobs who stands out not only because he’s the co-founder and chief visionary of the company that employs the rest of the bunch, but also because he is featured with a brand new picture that, so far, has only been available in black and white.
Originally snapped by photography legend Albert Watson, this picture of Steve is scattered all around the web, and has been used in so many news articles that we’d have a hard time counting just our own.
Now, you can get it in color, thanks to Apple’s initiative to honor Jobs’ profile with one of his best pictures ever.
Go get it now, turn in into a poster, iPhone or iPad wallpaper, make a sticker for your fridge, press it on a T-shirt, do whatever comes to mind!
Steve’s bio, for those who are not very familiar with the iconic CEO, follows below.
Steve Jobs is the CEO of Apple, which he co-founded in 1976. Apple is leading the consumer technology world with its revolutionary iPhone and App Store, its family of iPod media players and iTunes media store, and its Mac computers and iLife and iWork application suites. Apple recently introduced the iPad, a breakthrough Internet and digital media device, plus the iBookstore, alongside iTunes and the App Store.
Steve also co-founded and was the CEO of Pixar Animation Studios, which created some of the most successful and beloved animated films of all time including Toy Story, A Bug’s Life, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars and Ratatouille. Pixar merged with The Walt Disney Company in 2006 and Steve now serves on Disney's board of directors.
Steve grew up in the apricot orchards which later became known as Silicon Valley, and still lives there with his family.
