Apple’s executive overseeing enterprise sales and the Western European market is set to leave the company later this year, reflecting a trend of departures among seasoned managers at the tech giant.
Mark Rogers, who serves as vice president of Western Europe and global enterprise sales, has informed colleagues of his decision to exit the company this fall. Sources familiar with the situation, who requested anonymity due to the lack of an official announcement, confirmed his planned departure. Rogers has been with Apple for 27 years, taking on his current vice presidential role in 2013.
In his capacity, Rogers is responsible for overseeing corporate sales globally, with a focus on key Western European markets including the UK, Germany, and France. He reports to Mike Fenger, Apple’s vice president of all sales, who in turn answers to CEO Tim Cook.
An Apple representative declined to provide any comments regarding Rogers’ departure.
In recent years, the sales organization at Apple has seen significant reshuffling. Fenger was appointed to his current position following the exit of co-sales chief Doug Beck earlier this year. Once Rogers departs, his responsibilities will be divided; Juan Castellanos, who oversees Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, will take on the Western Europe role. Vivek Thakkar, the vice president responsible for U.S. carrier and enterprise sales, will assume control of all global enterprise sales. Both executives will continue reporting to Fenger.
This year, Apple reorganized its sales group, which facilitates the selling of products to both consumers and businesses, following the retirement of Castellanos’ predecessor, Hugues Asseman. As part of this restructuring, Apple designated India as its own region within the organization, making the head of India’s sales, Ashish Chowdhary, report directly to Fenger.
Tuesday is particularly significant on the Apple calendar, marking the date when stock options typically vest for employees. This timing often influences the decision of long-tenured staff members about when to leave the company.
Recent exits have not been limited to Rogers; other executives, such as longtime hardware engineering leader Dan Riccio and Chief People Officer Carol Surface, also stepped down around the end of last year. In March, Apple made changes within its artificial intelligence sector, appointing a new chief for Siri while retaining existing leadership in AI roles. The company also named a new vice president to oversee its global retail stores recently.
