Tim Cook took Apple to $4 trillion, now it’s John Ternus’ turn
When John Ternus takes over as CEO of Apple on September 1, he will be inheriting one of the most successful corporate legacies in modern tech, built over 15 years by Tim Cook.
Cook didn’t just steady Apple after Steve Jobs. He expanded it into a $4 trillion company. When he became CEO in fiscal year 2011, Apple’s market capitalisation stood at around $350 billion. Today, it has grown more than tenfold, while annual revenue has nearly quadrupled to over $416 billion in FY25.
