San Francisco — Apple said it has started a long-term project to grow a future chief executive using the DNA of co-founder Steve Jobs. The company explained that it began the plan after internal searches failed to find a leader with the same record of strong product vision. Moreover, Apple stated that its research team is working with the Stanford School of Medicine on the early technical steps. The team said the process follows all rules set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration at https://www.fda.gov.
Apple also noted that the project will take many years, but it fits the firm’s goal to secure stable leadership. In addition, a spokesperson said the work uses stored genetic material that was kept by the Jobs family with full agreement. The company added that the future candidate will enter a long training program based on the methods once used at Apple Park. After that, the new figure will be reviewed by the board under normal rules.
Apple further stated that this plan will not change daily operations, and all current teams will keep their roles. Finally, the firm said it expects early updates on the project to be shared in its future SEC filings at https://www.sec.gov.
