As spotted by Bloomberg, longtime Apple executive Stan Ng is retiring after more than three decades at the company, according to a post on his LinkedIn profile. Here are the details.
Another lead from Apple’s Health division steps down
Stan Ng, Apple’s vice president of product marketing for Apple Watch, AirPods, Health, and Home, publicly announced his retirement in a post on LinkedIn.
Ng spent the last 31 years at Apple, where he started as a senior system engineer in 1995. He later moved into product roles for the Mac, went on to lead product marketing for the iPod, and eventually took charge of marketing for the iPhone, Apple Watch, and Health, with Apple’s home initiatives added to his responsibilities in 2021.
In an emotional farewell post, he shared an image of the sunrise at Apple Park, with his iPod playing U2’s “It’s a Beautiful Day,” and listed some of the things he did at the company on his last day.
His retirement is the latest in an ongoing wave of executive departures at Apple. In recent months, longtime leaders including former COO Jeff Williams, design chief Alan Dye, and environment and policy head Lisa Jackson have all exited, with AI chief John Giannandrea becoming the latest to join that list this week.
The move also underscores ongoing changes to Apple’s health initiatives, which were recently brought under Eddy Cue as part of a broader reshuffle resulting from Williams’ retirement. Additionally, it comes alongside the upcoming retirement of Fitness+ head Jay Blahnik, a key figure behind Apple’s fitness push over the past decade.
According to Bloomberg, Erik Treski, Apple’s worldwide product marketing executive for AirPods and Home, will take on part of Ng’s responsibilities following his retirement, but it is unclear how the rest of Ng’s responsibilities will be redistributed.
