Who is Apple's stand-in CEO Tim Cook? - Network World

Who is Apple's stand-in CEO Tim Cook? - Network World: "Who is Apple's low-profile COO Tim Cook who is to stand in for Steve Jobs while he takes a leave of absence due to his health? Fortune did a profile of Cook last fall, when rumors where still swirling about Jobs' medical problems, in light of his thinness and paleness. (Read the story about Jobs' leave of absence. See Jobs' letter to Apple employees.)

Cook has actually taken over the CEO reins from Jobs before: for 2 months in 2004, while Jobs was recovering from surgery for pancreatic cancer.

Cook turned 48 in November and the Fortune article described him as a “fitness nut” and “intensely private.”

He’s from Alabama and is a 1984 engineering graduate of Auburn University."
