Amaya Toman On the website of Jablíčkára, we will from time to time bring you a brief portrait of one of the important personalities from the Apple company. For today, the choice fell on Eddy Cuo – a basketball enthusiast and one of the fathers of the App Store.

Eddy Cue was born on October 23, 1964. His full name is Eduardo H. Cue, his mother was Cuban, his father Spanish. Eddy Cue graduated from Duke University with a bachelor's degree in computer science and economics and still supports the university's basketball team. Eddy Cue never hid his enthusiasm for basketball, and perhaps the only "affair" connected with Cue is related to this sport. She caught fire - of course - on social networks, which in 2017 began to spread a video from the NBA finals, in which Cue tries to subdue the singer Rihanna, who made an emotional speech against one of the Warriors players, with expressive gestures behind her screams. However, Cue denied the whole thing on his Twitter, saying that he was sitting far away at the time of the incident.

Colleagues perceive Eddy Cu as a peculiar personality, but he does not lack talent, skills and determination. Eddy Cue started working at Apple in 1989, when he took the position of manager of software engineering. When Apple's online store began to emerge a few years later, Eddy Cue was tasked with co-creating it. Thanks to this experience, he was also able to participate in building the iTunes Store and the App Store. He also signed under the development of the iBooks platform, the iAd advertising service or the development of the voice assistant Siri, before Craig Federighi began to command it. Apple can also thank Eddy Cue for other successes—even for averting one big setback in time. Some of you may remember the MobileMe platform that was supposed to give iPhone and iPod owners access to cloud services. But the functioning of the service turned out to be problematic over time, and it was Cue that was at the origin of its gradual transformation into iCloud. Eddy Cue currently works at Apple as a senior vice president for Internet software and services.
