Apple’s New Hardware Chief Shakes Up Oversight of Product Design

Apple Inc. Chief Hardware Officer Johny Srouji is reorganizing hardware development and shifting oversight of key functions such as product design, part of an effort to speed up work on future devices.

Srouji, who was elevated to an expanded role managing both hardware engineering and technologies, is making the changes this month, according to people with knowledge of the matter. He took the position as part of a broader leadership overhaul at Apple, with longtime hardware executive John Ternus tapped to become chief executive officer on Sept. 1.
