Earlier this afternoon I had some professional news to share so sent this message to my fellow colleagues at Apple:
Dear friends and colleagues,
After 21 years at Apple, I’ve decided to leave our incredible company. It has been on my mind for some time and now is the moment to hand over the baton to two brilliant leaders in my team—Carson Oliver) and Ann Thai—several of whom are more than ready for the next stage.
In 2003, when I joined Apple, we were launching the iTunes music store. Initially, I was a contractor helping indie labels get on iTunes before becoming one of the first full-time marketing staffers. We created a brand for iTunes together with an expanded customer base, international expansion or relationships that fuel our growth. On our platform, it’s fantastic how I work closely with artists, labels, TV networks , film studios as well as emerging podcasts that allow them prosper on our platform.
The iPhone was introduced in 2007, everything changed. I was present at the Macworld as he unveiled the device. And there was a sense of energy in the room that I had never felt before in my career. In 2008, for instance, App Store released about 500 apps to users. Apple’s aim has always been clear; it is to make a safe and trusted place where customers can find and buy apps. While making developers have great commercial opportunities. Over time, we added iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and Pro Display XDR to the App Store family as well as introducing Apple Arcade. It has been an absolute pleasure being involved with the global App Store business and collaborating with our incredible team. And developer community at Apple over the last fifteen years.
During my two decades at Apple, Steve Jobs, Tim Cook, Eddy Cue and Phil Schiller were among some of the truly inspiring managers who I had an opportunity to work with . For their wisdom , guidance and support, I am very grateful.” “Moreover,”), even though these are other words that mean because they take on a causal meaning. On top of this i will like to extend my profound gratitude toward my awesome co-workers who pledge loyalty to our clients our developers or one another respectively. Together we built an amazing platform – more than 1 billion customers globally. Where more than $1 trillion total sales prices were generated by app store ecosystem in 2022 alone.
Carson and Ann will now lead into the future while by mid-October I help with the transition. So after that year I am looking forward to taking a break just to have fun times together with Renee my wife plus two teenage sons until finding out what comes next. Let us keep in touch; feel free to email me anytime (matt.fischer@me.gmail.com).
From deep down inside me thank you for all your support inspiration and friendship. I am blessed to work with all of you.
Very sincerely, Matt
