# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Timothy Donald Cook was born November 1, 1960, and joined Apple in March 1998 as a senior vice president for worldwide operations, then rose to chief operating officer under Jobs. On August 24, 2011, after Jobs resigned, Cook was appointed CEO — a handoff that meant stepping into the shadow of a legend. He replaced Jobs' micromanagement with a more collaborative culture, advocated for privacy reform and environmental preservation, and between 2011 and 2020 steered Apple's market value from $348 billion to $1.9 trillion; by 2025 the company posted $416 billion in revenue, second among tech firms. Outside Apple he's sat on Nike's board since 2005, pledged his fortune to charity, and in October 2014 received Alabama's highest civic honor after speaking on LGBTQ rights. In April 2026, Apple announced he would step down September 1, with John Ternus named to succeed him.
