Luca Maestri Runs the Cafeteria

Apple Newsroom, back in August 2024:

Apple today announced that Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri will transition from his role on January 1, 2025. Maestri will continue to lead the Corporate Services teams, including information systems and technology, information security, and real estate and development, reporting to Apple CEO Tim Cook. As part of a planned succession, Kevan Parekh, Apple’s Vice President of Financial Planning and Analysis, will become Chief Financial Officer and join the executive team.

That continued leadership role wasn’t ceremonial. Maestri still has an executive page, which reads:

Luca Maestri is Apple’s vice president of Corporate Services, reporting to CEO Tim Cook. In this role, he oversees a range of functions, including information systems and technology, information security, real estate and development, Caffè Macs, and Claris.

I find the mention of Caffè Macs to be utterly charming. (And the mention of Claris to be at least a little interesting.)
