It's Fall and AAPL tree trimmin' time as Mitch Mandich retires His Timness of Cook , a former IBMer from CPQ, assumes his duties while a search for a replacement is enacted: ---- " AAPL today announced that Mitch Mandich, senior vice president of Worldwide Sales, will be retiring from Apple at the end of December. ``Mitch has been a key member of Apple's senior management team during the past three years, and has led our sales efforts with vigor and integrity,'' said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. ``Mitch plans to retire and spend more time with his family. We will miss him.'' The company has a search underway for Mandich's replacement. Tim Cook, Apple's senior vice president of Operations, will assume Mandich's responsibilities until a replacement is named." biz.yahoo.com ----- 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 ! Jim K.
