- qq66 15y agoNo he is not. http://www.apple.com/pr/bios/bod.html http://www.apple.com/pr/bios/bod.html
- xxpor 15y agoThanks for that link. I'm surprised at who's on that board. CEO of Avon? Seems pretty random.
- ahi 15y agoThey are legally required to have some number of independent directors. This is to prevent executive backscratching, self-dealing, etc. The CEO of Avon is probably on the board precisely because it's kind of random. Their job is to read the financials and keep an eye on the board members that have experience in the industry.
- redthrowaway 15y agoWoz has a habit of saying things that go against the official Apple line, be it praising competitors or sounding off on the "death grip" problem. He generally walks to the beat of his own drummer.
- glenra 15y agoWoz is still nominally a regular Apple employee - they pay him a very small paycheck so he can keep the perks of "working for Apple" but he doesn't have any assigned duties. He's mostly a goodwill ambassador. "I never resigned from Apple, and I still receive a small paycheck because I want to be an employee forever." source: http://www.woz.org/letters/general/53.html http://www.woz.org/letters/general/53.html
