Apple communications head Steve Dowling is leaving the company in October after 16 years of service.
According
to a memo obtained by the Vox, Dowling has informed his staff at Apple
that Phil Schiller will be managing the communications team on an
interim basis.
Dowling will be the third top C-Suite executive to
have left Apple this year. He joined Apple in 2003 and has led its
communications effort since 2014 after longtime communications chief
Katie Cotton left the company, Vox reported on Wednesday.
"After
16 years at Apple, countless keynotes, product launches and the
occasional PR crisis, I have decided that the time is right for me to
step away from our remarkable company," Dowling wrote in the memo
"This
is something that has been on my mind for a while, and it came into
sharp focus during the latest - and for me, last - launch cycle. Your
plans are set and the team is executing brilliantly as ever. So, it's
time."
He added that he plans to take time off and is not moving to another job, he will stay at Apple until the end of October.
Dowling has been with Apple through some of its biggest launches, including AirPods, iPhone X, and iPad Pro.
In a statement to Vox, Apple confirmed Dowling's plan to leave the company.
"Steve
Dowling has been dedicated to Apple for more than 16 years and has
contributed to the company at every level through many of its most
significant moments. From the first iPhone and App Store to Apple Watch
and AirPods, he has helped tell Apple's story and share our values with
the world," Apple was quoted as saying in the statement.
"Following
another successful product launch, he has decided to leave Apple to
spend some much deserved time with his family. He leaves behind a
tremendous legacy that will serve the company well into the future.
We're grateful to him for all that he's given to Apple and wish him the
best," the company added.
In June, Apple announced that the
company's chief design officer Jony Ive, is leaving the company this
year. Apple's retail boss Angela Ahrendts departed in April.
