Looks like a "team" position until December.
Sir Cook has cooked up some real nice option profits at AAPL and hopefully he can add his magic to bettering sales.
Mr Mandich came from NeXT . Had to be a difficult transition whereas Mr Cook seems qualified by past experience .
IBM permanently burns selling skills into your brain.
Ambition ? yes that too , but honesty , come on ... get real , this IS computer selling Ya know and we ain't # 1 , yet !
