Closing this chapter
When I started my journey at Apple, I knew it was something special.
Over these years, I had the opportunity to work with some of the smartest, most driven people I’ve ever met, take on new challenges, and even step into my first leadership role. That experience shaped me, and I’ll always be grateful for it.
But sometimes, life pulls you in a different direction. For me, that meant heading back home to St. Louis—to the city, family, and friends that have always been part of who I am. As much as I loved my time at Apple, home has been calling, and it’s time I listen.
“I think if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long.”
So that’s what I’m doing. As I step into my next chapter, Apple will still play an important role in my career. I’ll be supporting K-12 education and their use of Apple technology, ensuring they have effective ways for students to learn with iPad and MacBook. It’s a different kind of impact, but one I’m excited to make.
I’ll miss Apple—the work, the people, the experience—and I hope someday I’ll have another opportunity to be part of it again.
But for now, it’s time to do something else wonderful.
