More “intel” on Johny Srouji’s plans.

Looks like Apple dodged a bullet, as Johny Srouji has decided to stay at Apple and doesn’t plan on leaving anytime soon per a leaked memo (9to5Mac reporting from Bloomberg):

“I know you’ve been reading all kind of rumors and speculations about my future at Apple, and I feel that you need to hear from me directly,” he said in a memo to his division. “I am proud of the amazing Technologies we all build across Displays, Cameras, Sensors, Silicon, Batteries, and a very wide set of technologies, across all of Apple Products. Together we enable the best products in the world. I love my team, and I love my job at Apple, and I don’t plan on leaving anytime soon.”

It isn’t a surprise that Intel would be the other company pursuing Johny, with several attempts in the past.

9to5Mac, literally a year ago:

As reported by Bloomberg on Sunday, Intel is now looking for a new CEO as Pat Gelsinger retired from the company earlier this month. Interestingly, it seems that Johny Srouji is on Intel’s short list to take over as CEO. The report says that Intel already approached Srouji five years ago, when former CEO Brian Krzanich was leaving the company.

However, sources say that Srouji “didn’t seriously consider the job” at the time, as he was focused on developing the first Apple Silicon chips for the Mac and everything was fine at Apple.
