Apple Inc Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook addressed succession at the company’s annual shareholder meeting on Feb 13, saying that eventually “passing the baton” properly is one of his most important roles.

The company has a deep bench of experienced managers who could fill Cook’s shoes when the time comes. Apple’s leadership team includes 10 executives other than Cook and features veterans like operations chief Jeff Williams, services head Eddy Cue, product marketing boss Phil Schiller, and hardware leader Dan Riccio. There are also relative newcomers, like Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri and retail head Angela Ahrendts, who brought leadership experience from other companies.
