Meet Sabih Khan, UP man from Moradabad who is the new Chief Operating Officer of Apple, CEO Tim Cook says, He’s a brilliant…’

Apple has named Sabih Khan, an executive of Indian origin who has worked at the company for nearly 30 years, as its new Chief Operating Officer (COO). He will take over from Jeff Williams, who has held the role since 2015. This change is part of a planned leadership shift, and Khan will officially begin his new role later this month.

Khan is currently Apple’s Senior Vice President of Operations and has played a major role in building and managing Apple’s supply chain. Over the years, he has helped bring in new ways of manufacturing, expanded Apple’s production in the U.S., and kept things running smoothly even during global challenges.

Apple CEO Tim Cook praised Khan, calling him a smart and thoughtful leader who has helped shape how Apple builds its products. “He’s been key in making sure Apple can respond quickly when the world changes,” Cook said.

Jeff Williams, who will continue working at Apple until his retirement later this year, also praised Khan. “I’ve worked with Sabih for 27 years,” Williams said. “He’s the best operations leader I know.”

Once Williams retires, Apple’s design team will report directly to CEO Tim Cook.

Who is Sabih Khan? 

Sabih Khan is now Apple’s new Chief Operating Officer. He was born in 1966 in Moradabad in Uttar Pradesh. During his school years, he moved to Singapore, and later went to the United States for higher studies.

He studied both economics and mechanical engineering at Tufts University, and then earned a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI).

Sabih started his career at GE Plastics, and joined Apple in 1995 as part of the procurement team, the group that helps the company buy the parts it needs to build its products. Over the years, he became one of the main people behind Apple’s global supply chain, helping make sure that Apple products are made and delivered efficiently and responsibly.

 Sabih Khan is fond of Hindi songs and one of his relatives says he loves Parle-G biscuits, as reported by Aaj Tak.

His promotion comes at a time when Apple is focusing more on India not just as a big market to sell products, but also as an important place to make them.
