Apple's chief people officer departs company after less than 2 years

Apple's Chief People Officer Carol Surface departs the company after less than two years since she came on board. Surface joined Apple in February 2023 and it's unclear why she is leaving. However, it's a notable departure since most senior executives at Apple stay longer.

Surface was brought on when Apple split its main human resources role from retail last year. Her role was created when she joined Apple, and she reported directly to CEO Tim Cook. Deirdre O'Brien, who had been handling retail and people (HR), transitioned to overseeing retail. However, with Surface leaving, O'Brien will once again oversee both departments.
