One thing’s for sure: with the departure of Avie Tevanian, the names of Apple’s top brass will certainly be a lot less interesting.
Tevanian, Apple’s Chief Software Technology Officer, came to the company from NeXT in 1997, at the side of the victoriously returning Steve Jobs. He was one of the key architects of OS X, and continues to be critical in its development today and, um, until the end of the week. As of March 31st, Tevanian is leaving Apple to “pursue other interests.”
Time to start the pool on Apple’s new Chief Software Technology Officer. Any takers on Bud Tribble at 2 to 1?
