Apple just made a major leadership move—naming Sabih Khan, a long-time insider of Indian origin, as its new Chief Operating Officer (COO). He takes over from Jeff Williams, who’s retiring after nearly three decades at the company.
Khan isn’t new to Apple’s core. He’s been leading global operations for years and is credited with building the tech giant’s powerful supply chain, keeping your iPhones and MacBooks rolling out on time.
From Small-Town India to Silicon Valley
Born in Moradabad, India, Khan’s story is straight out of a global success playbook. He studied economics and engineering in the US, earned a master’s at RPI, and joined Apple in 1995.
Since then, he’s quietly climbed the ladder, helping Apple expand manufacturing, cut its carbon footprint, and power through global supply chain chaos.
Why He Matters to Apple Now
CEO Tim Cook calls him a “brilliant strategist” and one of the key minds behind Apple’s supply chain success. Khan’s leadership comes at a time when Apple is pushing sustainability, innovation, and global growth.
What Happens Next?
Khan officially takes over this month, while outgoing COO Jeff Williams will stay a bit longer to handle Apple Watch, health, and design teams before he fully steps away.
