Apple has tapped a former Facebook executive to head up its online services, website, and customer support infrastructure.
It was first learned in late October that Apple's Chief Information Officer, Mary Demby, would retiring after three decades. At the time, it wasn't clear who would replace her.
Now, it seems the tech giant has figured out who will step into the role — Timothy Campos.
Campos held the same role for six years at Facebook, now Meta, from 2010 until 2016. As Bloomberg points out, he also co-founded Woven, a calendar app that was acquired by Slack in 2021.
He had posted on his LinkedIn profile that he is "getting ready for something new" but did not disclose the position. According to Bloomberg, a spokesperson for Apple confirmed the new hire.

It is a failure of the organization when a company like Apple cannot promote from within to fill senior management roles
Apple sold out to Facebook
The previous comments seem to be ignorant of the fact that employees of a company are not the same as the company they work for. There are some talented people in tech who do move around to various tech firms. Good for them. As to whether FaceBook experience can help Apple, who knows. But I highly doubt it's going to suddenly transform Apple into a Mark Zuckerberg creation.
The guy hasn’t worked for Facebook in 6 years. He left right as the insanity began.
