John Ternus takes over as CEO of Apple on September 1, and he's busy getting his executive team together. The latest addition is Laura Legros, retired VP of hardware engineering. All eyes are on John Ternus as he prepares to replace Tim Cook as CEO of Apple. She was previously a vice president of hardware engineering and worked for Ternus. Johny Srouji is set to be the newly created Chief Hardware Officer, which means hardware engineering and hardware technologies are now under one leader.
