Gil Amelio leaves Apple as CEO (1997)
On July 7, 1997, Gil Amelio officially ended his tenure as a director of Apple. After a long break, Steve Jobs took over the leadership of the company again, who immediately began to take the necessary steps to bounce Apple off the bottom. Under Amelia's leadership, Apple experienced one of its worst periods, suffering a loss of $1,6 billion. Gil Amelio has been a member of Apple's board of directors since 1994, and became its CEO in February 1996, when he took over from Michael Spindler.
