Vratislav Holub Apple is run by several capable people led by CEO Tim Cook. A number of vice presidents are then responsible to Cook, which is why the management consists of 18 members in total, who focus on various segments to ensure the greatest possible efficiency. However, the tightest leadership consists of 12 people, the youngest of whom are John Ternus (47) and Craig Federighi (52).

Adam Kos One thing follows from this - Apple's leadership is slowly aging. This is precisely why the discussion among apple growers has been stirred up as to which people historically rank among the youngest managers of the apple company. In this regard, the founders themselves, namely Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, must be omitted. They were only 21 and 26 years old when the company was founded. Even when Jobs returned to Apple in 1997 to take over as CEO, he was still only 42 years old. That is why we could consider these two as the youngest people from the narrow circle of the company's management.

Apple's youngest management
As we mentioned above, if we leave aside the founders themselves, then we immediately find a pair of interesting candidates who could be considered one of the youngest people in the leadership of the Cupertino company. A few years ago, Scott Forstall, vice president of iOS development, who was only 38 years old at the time of filling this position, could boast of this designation. Specifically, he stayed on it from 2007 to 2012. It was then, with the arrival of iOS 6, that the giant faced huge criticism for a brand new native map. According to the public's response, they contained a number of errors, lacked attention to detail and, moreover, showed a lax development approach. On the other hand, he was subsequently replaced by Craig Federighi, who is one of the most popular faces of Apple today and many fans would like to see him as Tim Cook's successor.
The second mentioned candidate is Michael Scott, who was the first ever to take the position of CEO of Apple, already in 1977. The founders themselves, Jobs and Wozniak, were not experienced enough to lead the company at that time. At the time, Scott was only 32 years old and remained in his position for four years, when he was subsequently replaced by Mike Markkula at the age of 39. Coincidentally, it was Markkula who had previously pushed Scott into the CEO position. He is also often referred to as Apple's guardian angel. In its early days, he provided critically important financing and management from his position as an investor.
