Jonathan Ive is Back in Charge of the Design Teams at Apple

Good news: Jonathan Ive, who was famously promoted to Chief Design Officer of Apple two years ago, is officially overseeing the design teams again. As CDO Ive’s attention was spread onto the design of Apple’s “spaceship” campus, with Alan Dye and Richard Howarth taking over the hardware and software design teams. But now, Bloomberg reports,

“With the completion of Apple Park, Apple’s design leaders and teams are again reporting directly to Jony Ive, who remains focused purely on design,” Amy Bessette, a company spokeswoman, said Friday in a statement.

Some months ago I’d read rumors that Ive was looking to ease his way out of the company, and I’m glad to see that they were just rumors. Here’s to hoping Ive can right the ship.
