Apple has appointed Johny Srouji as its new chief hardware officer, effective immediately, according to a company announcement on Monday.

The promotion places Srouji in a key role overseeing Apple’s hardware engineering teams. His appointment follows the planned transition of John Ternus, who will take over as Apple’s CEO in September, replacing Tim Cook. Cook, in turn, will become chairman of the board.
