Tim Cook and Apple have better stats by virtually every metric - also a non-founder.
- osigurdson 4y agoI don't think Tim Cook has had much impact on Apple however.
- pell 4y agoHe has lead Apple after Jobs died which is no small task. He oversaw the iPhone market which has been growing continuously under his leadership. He started and grew Apple’s services division, launched Apple Watch, AirPods and the Apple Silicon transition which have all been massively successful by any metric. I don’t understand how Tim Cook’s tenure can be considered not impactful.
- osigurdson 4y agoI agree with "Apple Silicon transition". Everything else is obvious / organic growth.
- arvinsim 4y agoApple Silicon is certainly impressive. But it remains to be seen if Apple can scale that hardware to servers, AI, etc.
- __d 4y agoAirPods?
- johnfn 4y agoI think the metric that matters is delta vs a hypothetical other CEO. It's really really hard for me to imagine Apple flubbing a launch of headphones or earbuds. I think that's why AirPods are less impressive, even though they've been a wonderful success and a great product.
