Apple co-founder Steve Jobs died in 2011. Many thought his ability to lead the technology company would be impossible to replace. However, the current head of Apple, Tim Cook, seems to be doing extremely well. Cook was at first believed to be little more than a caretaker for Apple after Jobs’ death. But Cook has continued to build Apple with his own skill and ideas. He will celebrate his ninth year as Apple’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Monday. Training Cook to take over the company was “one of Steve Jobs’ greatest accomplishments,” said Apple analyst Gene Munster. The company’s stock market value was $400 billion when Cook became CEO. Its stock is worth five times that amount today. It is the first U.S. company to have a market value of $2 trillion.
