Apple on Wednesday promoted Indian-origin executive Sabih Khan to the role of Chief Operating Officer.

Khan will succeed Jeff Williams later this month, marking a significant leadership transition within the company.

Khan, a three-decade veteran at Apple, joined the executive team as Senior Vice President of Operations in 2019. “Jeff Williams will transition his role as chief operating officer later this month to Sabih Khan, Apple’s senior vice president of operations, as part of a long-planned succession,” Apple said in a statement released on Wednesday.
