Apple announced Monday that it will replace Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri on Jan. 1 with Kevan Parekh.
Maestri will continue to lead teams focusing on IT, security, and real estate development, Apple said. He had been Apple CFO since 2014.
Parekh, the incoming CFO, has been on Maestri’s finance leadership team for years as the company’s VP of Financial Planning and Analysis.
“For more than a decade, Kevan has been an indispensable member of Apple’s finance leadership team, and he understands the company inside and out. His sharp intellect, wise judgment, and financial brilliance make him the perfect choice to be Apple’s next CFO,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a statement.
Maestri was named Apple CFO in 2014, before the stock began a torrid run, partially powered by strong demand for iPhones. He oversaw Apple’s record-breaking capital return program, and appeared alongside Cook on quarterly earnings calls.
