Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing Greg Joswiak has revealed the nickname he uses for CEO John Ternus, after being asked whether he had ever accidentally called Apple’s new chief executive “Tim.”
During a candid interview inside an Apple Store, Gizmodo asked Joswiak whether he had ever mistakenly called Ternus “Tim,” referring to former Apple CEO Tim Cook.
Joswiak said he had not, explaining that he does not actually call Ternus by his first name. Instead, he revealed that he calls him “JT.”
The lighthearted exchange comes just weeks after Ternus officially took over as Apple CEO on September 1, succeeding Cook after 15 years at the top of the company.
Cook remains at Apple as executive chairman, while Ternus has already led the company through his first major product launches as chief executive.
