Luca Maestri, Apple's former CFO, is stepping down from his position overseeing corporate services as new CEO John Ternus takes the helm this week.

Maestri, who served as Apple's Chief Financial Officer before transitioning to lead corporate services, is the latest executive to shift responsibilities under the company's leadership transition. Ternus, who previously headed hardware engineering, officially assumed the CEO position following Tim Cook's tenure. The move marks a broader reshuffling of Apple's senior leadership structure. Maestri's departure from the corporate services role comes as part of organizational adjustments accompanying the executive change. His tenure at Apple spanned multiple decades, during which he managed the company's financial operations through significant periods of growth. The timing aligns with Apple's practice of reorganizing key functions when new executives assume major roles. Maestri's next assignment or retirement status has not been immediately disclosed by the company.
