Appleʼs global supply chain as senior vice president
of Operations.

Cupertino, California — Apple today

announced that Sabih Khan, a 24-year
Apple veteran, has been named to the
companyʼs executive team as senior vice
president of Operations. Khan has played
an important role in delivering each of
Appleʼs innovative products to market
since the late 1990s, leading key product
operations and supply chain functions. He
continues to report to Jeff Williams,
Appleʼs chief operating officer.

In his new role, Khan will be in charge of

Appleʼs global supply chain, ensuring
product quality and overseeing planning,
procurement, manufacturing, logistics and
product fulfillment functions, as well as
Appleʼs supplier responsibility programs
that protect and educate workers at
production facilities around the world.

“Sabih leads our Ops team with heart,”

said Tim Cook, Appleʼs CEO. “He and his
entire worldwide team are committed to
delivering unmatched experiences to our
customers, treating workers everywhere
with dignity and respect, and protecting
the environment for future generations.”

“Iʼve been privileged to work with Sabih for

more than 20 years, and you wonʼt find a
more talented operations executive
anywhere on the planet,” said Williams.
“He is a world-class leader and
collaborator, and I have no doubt that he
will be the best leader of the Ops team in
Appleʼs history.”

The Operations team is responsible for

driving scale across the global supply
chain and accelerating manufacturing
innovation, including developing and
scaling a new aluminum alloy that enables
the use of 100 percent recycled aluminum
in MacBook Air and Mac mini enclosures
without compromising quality. The team
also supports Appleʼs environmental
initiatives by partnering with suppliers to
propel green manufacturing, helping
conserve resources and protect the
planet.

Before joining Appleʼs procurement group

in 1995, Khan worked as an applications
development engineer and key account
technical leader at GE Plastics. He earned
bachelorʼs degrees in Economics and
Mechanical Engineering from Tufts
University and a masterʼs degree in
Mechanical Engineering from Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute (RPI).

Apple revolutionized personal technology

with the introduction of the Macintosh in
1984. Today, Apple leads the world in
innovation with iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple
Watch and Apple TV. Appleʼs four software
platforms — iOS, macOS, watchOS and
tvOS — provide seamless experiences
across all Apple devices and empower
people with breakthrough services
including the App Store, Apple Music,
Apple Pay and iCloud. Appleʼs more than
100,000 employees are dedicated to
making the best products on earth, and to
leaving the world better than we found it.
