About the company
Apple designs devices, software, silicon and services that work together across product categories. Its public leadership page names one CEO and senior leaders for hardware, software, services, operations, marketing, finance, legal, retail and people. The editable diagram groups those published functions rather than pretending Apple has released an employee-by-employee chart.
The date matters. Apple's 20 April 2026 succession announcement made John Ternus CEO and Tim Cook executive chair effective 1 September. Older charts with Cook at the top describe an earlier structure. This September map uses Apple's current leadership page for names and roles.
A functional leadership model across products
Apple has long described its organization as functional: senior leaders are experts in disciplines that span products. Hardware, software, services, operations and marketing are not depicted here as independent product profit centers. A company-wide function can contribute to an iPhone, a Mac and other products at the same time.
John Ternus is listed as CEO. Johny Srouji is chief hardware officer, Craig Federighi leads software engineering, Eddy Cue leads services and health, and Sabih Khan is chief operating officer. Apple's leadership page also lists finance, legal and government affairs, retail and people, worldwide marketing, design, sales and communications. Those roles are grouped by remit in the chart.
Tim Cook is shown in a separate board branch as executive chair. The chart's lines indicate membership in publicly described leadership and governance groups. Apple does not publish a complete current direct-report diagram, so placement under a group is not a claim that a named executive reports to another named executive. The Greater China role can have relationships beyond a single-parent tree, which this simplified map does not attempt to resolve.

How this structure supports the business
The functional view explains why a product can draw on several leaders without becoming a standalone division. Apple's own account of its management model emphasizes domain expertise and collaboration across functions, which fits an integrated hardware, software and services portfolio.
The map also separates board oversight from operating responsibilities following the CEO succession. That distinction prevents the executive chair from appearing as a second operating CEO.
Advantages and disadvantages
- Company-wide functions make shared expertise visible across products.
- A tree cannot show every cross-functional product decision or collaboration.
- Published roles make the current leadership layer easy to verify.
- Apple does not publish all direct reporting lines, so a grouped view must stop short of a full internal hierarchy.
Interesting facts
- John Ternus became Apple's CEO on 1 September 2026.
- Tim Cook became executive chair on the same date.
- Apple's public leadership page lists heads of company-wide functions rather than separate iPhone and Mac CEOs.
- The organizational map treats board oversight separately from operating leadership.
