Jobs’s Departure as CEO Puts Product Vision in Hands of Ive
Posted on September 4, 2011
“Steve Jobs’s departure as chief executive officer this week leaves Apple Inc. (AAPL) without the full- time attention of its technology visionary, putting pressure on head product designer Jonathan Ive to fill that gap. ”
Ive and Cook are both brilliant in their respective fields, but Jobs is that rare individual with vision who understands how to meld everything together to create objects of desire. I don’t know that we’ll see anybody quite like him for another few decades.
