Dan Rosckes, Apple’s global head of procurement, is set to retire after 24 years at the company.
Rosckes, who has been with Apple for 24 years, ran the company’s hardware procurement group since 2022. His duties included negotiating deals with various suppliers and obtaining hardware components for Apple’s products, which says a lot about the importance of his role at the company.
Every year, Apple orders a wide variety of components in overwhelmingly large quantities. The iPhone maker’s hardware procurement group is tasked with sourcing the various components and making agreements with suppliers that ensure both a clear profit for Apple and the timely delivery of new hardware.
