Apple appointed Dan Riccio, currently Head of Hardware Engineering, as the new Vice President of Engineering, a position that will allow him to work on a new project to create something “new and wonderful.”
Riccio started working at Apple in 1998 as part of the Product Design team. Later, in 2010, he became vice president of iPad Hardware Engineering and in 2012 took the position he held until now as Head of Hardware Engineering.
John Ternus will take over from Riccio, who will now focus on his new job as Vice President of Engineering, reporting directly to Apple CEO Tim Cook, as stated in the statement shared by Apple.
Riccio assured that after 23 years in the Product Design and Hardware Engineering teams it is “the right time for a change”, which will allow him to focus all his time and energy “on creating something new and wonderful.”
