Johny Srouji is ‘seriously considering’ joining another company in the near future.

Johny Srouji is ‘seriously considering’ joining another company in the near future.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman is reporting that Johny Srouji, senior vice president of hardware technologies, told Tim Cook he is “seriously considering” leaving Apple for another company in the near future. It was reported in October that Srouji was “ evaluating his future at the tech giant .” While nothing is confirmed, it seems the executive is leaning toward not having a future at Cupertino.

If Srouji leaves, he would be just the latest in a string of high-profile shakeups in the company’s C-suite. COO Jeff Williams announced his retirement in July, which led to some shifting of roles. But things have only accelerated in December, with AI chief John Giannandrea stepping down , policy lead Lisa Jackson and general counsel Kate Adams announcing plans to retire , and UI design lead Alan Dye departing for Meta , all in the last few days.

Apple has struggled somewhat to find its footing as the industry further embraces AI. Now Tim Cook is tasked with trying to stem the bleeding, while being subject to rumors of his own departure. Gurman, who is usually reliable, has said those rumors are premature , but it still adds to the uncertainty surrounding what is typically one of the more stable companies in Silicon Valley.
