Tim Cook is the business executive and industrial engineer currently serving as CEO of Apple Inc. Before he joined Apple back in 1998, Cook spent twelve years working for IBM, serving as the director of North American fulfillment. However, Cook instantly decided to join Applet after meeting Steve Jobs for the first time. “My intuition already knew that joining Apple was a once in a lifetime opportunity to work for the creative genius and to be on the executive team that could resurrect a great American company,” Cook later said.
Cook joined Apple as a senior vice president for worldwide operations. Then, in 2011, just before Jobs’ death, he became CEO of Apple. Today, he also serves on the board of directors for Nike and the NFL. Still, after he passed, Cook plans on donating his $650 million fortune to charity.
