And the cycle of meetings and farewells in Cupertino continues to be perpetuated – this time, only in the part of farewells.
The first recent exit, according to the Bloomberg, was Nick Forlenza, vice president of manufacturing design for the company.
The executive, who was directly reporting to the senior vice president of operations Sabih Kahn, led a team of operations managers and oversaw global supply and assembly processes. Apparently, he retired.
Also according to Bloomberg, who is also about to leave Cupertino soon is Duco Pasmooij, who, like Forlenza, also spent a good part of his career in the area of operations, leading the parts supply chain for the iPhone; the executive, however, was transferred about a year ago to another division of the company, leading a sector of augmented reality (AR). There is still no information about Pasmooij’s new plans.
Michelle MendelovitzFinally, the Hollywood Reporter reported on the departure of Michelle Mendelovitz, a TV executive who came to Apple two years ago and oversaw the development of several original content from that early phase of Apple TV +, such as “For All Mankind”, “Servant” and “Visible: Out on Television”.
Mendelovitz left Apple to join the television division of 20th Century Fox, now owned by Disney. There, she will assume the role of senior vice president and lead the development of drama series – possibly creating content that will be made available on competing Apple TV + platforms, such as Disney + and Hulu (both from Disney).
Lucky for everyone on the new journeys, therefore.
