Tim Cook, the man who grew Apple by trillions of dollars

Tim Cook, the man who grew Apple by trillions of dollars, was appointed as the seventh CEO of the tech giant and served the longest tenure among all CEOs. Although he shared the common traits of being white, male, and of a similar age as his predecessors, Cook was the most transformative of them all in business terms.

Cook's role at Apple extended beyond being a designer, as he also had to become a skilled politician to navigate the company successfully. His tenure as CEO transformed Apple financially and business-wise, surpassing even Steve Jobs in these aspects. While Cook may not be as well-remembered for products as Jobs is, his impact on the business side of Apple has been immense.
