CEO Steve Jobs said this about Dr. Sugar:
“Ron is an engineer at heart, who then became a very successful business leader. We are very excited to welcome him to Apple’s Board…In addition to having been the CEO of a high-tech Fortune 100 company, Ron has a Ph.D. in engineering and has been involved in the development of some very sophisticated technology.”
On Apple’s board, Sugar joins former U.S. Vice President Albert Gore; JCrew CEO Millard Drexler; former CEO of Intuit, Bill Campbell; Avon Chairman and CEO Andrea Jung; Genentech Chairman Arthur D. Levinson, and Steve Jobs himself.
Board member Jerry York, CEO of Harwinton Capital, passed away earlier this year, so it’s assumed that Sugar will be filling this spot.
