Apple's Chief People Officer Departs After Brief Tenure

Carol Surface, who joined Apple as Chief People Officer in early 2023, is set to depart the company after less than two years on the job. The role of Chief People Officer was created by splitting the human resources department from Deirdre O'Brien's responsibilities. Following Surface's departure, O'Brien will once again oversee the duties of the Chief People Officer. The reason for Surface's quick departure remains unknown, though there have been several significant executive departures at Apple in recent years.
