Apple VP of enterprise sales makes unexpected departure

Representatives for Apple confirmed the departure, but didn't offer an explanation, Reuters said on Tuesday. The executive also appears to have no particular destination in mind, as his LinkedIn profile mentions only "tbd" under job title and company fields.

Most of Solomon's work history has been with HP, where he held various executive roles since 1992 and served as general manager of the firm's global business unit for consumer printers before joining Apple in January 2015.

Apple has typically downplayed government and enterprise sales over the consumer market, and for years even lacked a dedicated team. The company has gradually warmed up to the corporate market however, for instance by partnering with IBM in 2014, and later other corporations like Cisco and Deloitte.

In Sept. 2015, Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed that the company had reached $25 billion in enterprise sales for the prior 12 months alone. The mix of device sales is unknown, but likely skewing towards iPhones and iPads given industry trends.
