Apple is confronting the prospect of losing one of the most consequential executives behind its modern hardware renaissance. Israeli Johny Srouji, the senior vice president who built the company’s silicon program and oversees its hardware technologies group, has informed CEO Tim Cook that he is considering leaving in the near future, according to Bloomberg. Srouji is the most senior Israeli at the company and a central figure in the multi-year effort that moved Apple from Intel chips to its own highly regarded M-series processors.
According to Bloomberg, Srouji has also told colleagues that he intends to join another company if he ultimately decides to step away, underscoring the seriousness of the discussions. Cook, aware of the strategic weight Srouji carries, has been attempting to keep him at the company, offering substantial compensation and even the possibility of naming him Apple’s future chief technology officer.
His potential exit comes at a moment of unusual volatility inside Apple’s senior ranks. The recent retirement of former COO Jeff Williams was followed by the news that AI chief John Giannandrea is stepping down. The head of design, Alan Dye, has departed for Meta. On Thursday, Apple revealed yet another shift: Lisa Jackson, who leads environment, policy, and social initiatives, will retire in late January 2026, and Jennifer Newstead, currently Meta’s chief legal officer, will replace Kate Adams as general counsel when Adams retires “late next year.”
Srouji holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in computer science from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology.
