Apple Inc. has appointed Sabih Khan as its new Chief Operating Officer (COO), succeeding Jeff Williams after his three-decade tenure. Sabih Khan, born in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, India, in 1995, now steps into one of tech’s most pivotal roles, overseeing global operations for the $3 trillion company.

Originally from India, Khan moved with his family to Singapore and eventually to the United States. He earned a dual degree in Mechanical Engineering and Economics from Tufts University, followed by a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). Before joining Apple, he gained foundational experience at GE Plastics (now SABIC).

Rising Through Apple’s Ranks

Khan began his professional journey at Apple, gradually advancing through various operational positions over the years. Due to his deep knowledge of supply chain and manufacturing innovation, he was elevated to the role of Senior Vice President of Operations in 2019, reporting directly to Williams. Under his leadership, Apple expanded modern manufacturing practices across the U.S. and Asia, driving the implementation of state-of-the-art production technologies.

Legacy of Sustainable Leadership

Apple CEO Tim Cook has recognized Sabih Khan’s significant contributions in optimizing the company’s global supply chain strategy and operations. He led efforts to cut Apple’s carbon emissions by more than 60% by advancing eco-friendly manufacturing, while also enhancing supplier responsibility programs to improve labor standards worldwide. His crisis management during the COVID-19 pandemic ensured uninterrupted operations amid global disruptions.

Transition and Responsibilities

Jeff Williams, who will continue leading design efforts and Apple Watch initiatives until his retirement, praised Khan as “The most talented operations executive on the planet.” In his new role as COO, Khan now leads manufacturing, logistics, sustainability, supplier ethics, and product quality assurance worldwide.

Net Worth and Private Life

Though Sabih Khan keeps his personal life private, his net worth is estimated to be around $100 million largely stemming from Apple stock and earnings accumulated over three decades with the company. While the exact details of his compensation haven’t been made public, the estimated figure is consistent with the equity-based pay typically awarded to Apple’s senior executives.

Khan’s elevation highlights Apple’s focus on strengthening its operations while advancing long-term sustainability goals. As Cook stated: “Sabih’s brilliance ensures our legacy of innovation and responsibility.”
