CEO, Apple

 

 

 

As CEO of Apple, Tim Cook has overseen the introduction of some of the world’s most innovative products and services. A champion of the right to privacy and an advocate for equality and opportunity through education, he has shown how one of the world’s leading businesses can lead with its values. As part of its COVID-19 response, Apple has sourced and delivered over 10 million masks to medical workers in the United States and has committed tens of millions of dollars in donations to support the medical response and recovery efforts.

Ohio State has a unique technology-enhanced education and research partnership with Apple through the university’s Digital Flagship initiative. The collaboration has led to a comprehensive, university-wide digital learning initiative that supports educational innovation for students and economic development opportunities for the community.
