Chief executive Tim Cook doesn't expect to be running the company a decade from now after being the Apple CEO for almost 10 years, according to a new interview.

Cook Isn’t Sticking Around for 10 More Years

Kara Swisher of The New York Times interviewed Cook on a wide range of topics dealing with everything from the mythical Apple Car to to Mark Zuckerberg, from Elon Musk to the Biden administration, and beyond. The CEO has been running Apple for just shy of 10 years after Steve Jobs died but doesn't expect to remain at the helm for another decade.

He said:

10 more years? Probably not. I can tell you that I feel great right now. And the date's not in sight. But 10 more years is a long time, and probably not 10 more years.

He doesn't even have an idea what he might do after Apple, saying:

I don't have a clue because I love this company so much, that it is hard to imagine my life without it. And so I don't think I will know that until after I'm not here. Because I think I will run so fast that I'll never really think about it until I'm not running anymore.

Cook's 10 year anniversary as Apple CEO is in August.

Cook as Apple’s Unsung Operations Hero

Prior to joining Apple in the late '90s, Cook was vice president of Corporate Materials for Compaq, responsible for procuring and managing all of Compaq’s product inventory. That's precisely why Jobs hired him, to revamp Apple's supply chain.

The consensus among Wall Street analysts and Apple watchers is that Cook has done a stellar job of leading Apple in the post-Jobs era, at least in terms of the company's financial metrics and market valuation---Apple is now a $2 trillion+ company.

Under Cook's watch, Apple has released many new iPhone and iPad models while entering new categories with products such as the AirPods and the Apple Watch. If Cook does intend to stick around for a few more years, it's probably because he wants to oversee upcoming initiatives like the Apple Car and the rumored mixed-reality gadgets.
