He is a supply chain guy. Probably the best one out there.
You want to excel in supply chain, he’s a great guy to follow.
No doubt he's a great supply chain guy.
He's also one prime example of how to destroy a company which got to where it is because the CEO was a Visionary, knew how to intuit what people wanted and needed, and was focused enough to put the user experience above all else.
And Cook promptly firing AND making unimportant (He even did that to Sir Jony Ive? Really?) all the people who were like that and putting in place people who knew how to sell snake oil and fluff. Not cheapest in, most expensive out.
I mean, come on. Seriously? Power button mounted fingerprint sensors are not a "wow" thing, neither is USB-C on an iPad, yet the way it was presented, you'd have thought he landed safely on the sun and had his ice cream there without any trouble.
You want to destroy a company's culture and core identity by putting money first above all else, he’s a great guy to follow. But he's just like everyone else who does that. Literally everyone else.
