**Apple Announces Leadership Changes**
*Kathmandu, September 1, 2026* – Apple Inc. has appointed Jon Turens as its new chief executive officer (CEO), effective immediately. Turens previously served as Apple’s senior vice president of hardware engineering, a role he held for several years before assuming the top executive position.
Tim Cook, who has led Apple since 2011 following the death of co‑founder Steve Jobs, will transition to the role of executive chair of the company’s board of directors. In his new capacity, Cook will continue to oversee Apple’s strategic direction while delegating day‑to‑day operational responsibilities to Turens.
The leadership shift was announced by Apple in a statement released on September 1, 2026. The company highlighted Turens’ extensive experience in hardware development and his long tenure at Apple as key qualifications for the CEO role.
Cook’s tenure as CEO, which began in August 2011, has been marked by significant product launches, expansion into services, and growth in the company’s market value. As executive chair, he will remain a central figure in Apple’s governance.
The announcement was reported by *Arghakhanchi.com*, a Nepal‑based news outlet. No further details regarding the transition timeline or additional executive appointments were provided.
