Amaya Toman Ua haʻalele ʻo Steve Dowling, ka hope pelekikena o Apple no nā kamaʻilio, i ka hui ma hope o ʻumikumamāono makahiki. Ua lawe ʻo Dowling i ka hana ma 2014 ma hope o ka haʻalele ʻana o kāna mea mua, ʻo Katie Cotton, a ua alakaʻi ʻo ia i ka hui Cupertino PR. Akā naʻe, ua hana ʻo Steve Dowling i ka hui mai 2003, i ka wā i hana ai ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he poʻo o nā pilina lehulehu ma lalo o ke alakaʻi ʻana a Katie Cotton.
Ma kahi memo i nā limahana i kēia pule, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Dowling "ua hiki mai ka manawa e haʻalele ai ʻo ia i kēia hui kupaianaha" a ke manaʻo nei ʻo ia e hoʻomaha mai ka hana. Wahi a kāna mau ʻōlelo, ua ʻōlelo mua ʻo ia he ʻumikūmāono mau makahiki o ka hana ʻana ma Apple, helu ʻole Keynotes, hoʻokuʻu huahana a me kekahi mau pilikia PR maikaʻi ʻole. Ua hoʻohui ʻo ia ua pāʻani ʻo ia me ka manaʻo o ka haʻalele ʻana no ka manawa lōʻihi, a ua lawe ʻo ia i nā kikoʻī kikoʻī hou aʻe i ka wā o ka pōʻai hope o nā hoʻolaha huahana hou. "Ua hoʻonohonoho ʻia kāu mau hoʻolālā a ke hana nei ka hui i kahi hana maikaʻi e like me nā manawa a pau. No laila ka manawa” kākau ʻo Dowling.
"E hoʻokele ana ʻo Phil i ka hui ma kahi manawa pōkole mai kēia lā a e loaʻa iaʻu a hiki i ka hopena o ʻOkakopa e kōkua i ka hoʻololi. Ma hope o kēlā, hoʻolālā wau e hoʻomaha lōʻihi ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana i kahi mea hou. He wahine kākoʻo a hoʻomanawanui kaʻu ʻo Petra a me ʻelua mau keiki maikaʻi e kali mai iaʻu ma ka home," Ke hoʻomau nei ʻo Dowling i kāna leka i nā limahana, me ka hoʻohui ʻana i kona kūpaʻa iā Apple a me kāna poʻe "ʻaʻole ʻike palena." Hoʻomaikaʻi ʻo ia i ka hana pū ʻana me Tim Cook a mahalo i nā mea āpau no kā lākou hana paʻakikī, hoʻomanawanui a me ka pilina. "A makemake au i ka holomua o oukou," hoʻohui i ka hopena.
I loko o kahi ʻōlelo, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Apple ua mahalo ʻo ia no nā mea a pau a Dowling i hana ai no ka hui. "Ua paʻa ʻo Steve Dowling iā Apple ma mua o 16 mau makahiki a he waiwai ia i ka hui ma kēlā me kēia pae a i nā manawa koʻikoʻi." wahi a ka hui. "Mai ka iPhone mua a me ka App Store a i ka Apple Watch a me AirPods, ua kōkua ʻo ia e kaʻana like i kā mākou waiwai me ka honua."
Hoʻopau ka ʻōlelo a ka hui ma ka ʻōlelo ʻana he pono ʻo Dowling i kona manawa me kona ʻohana a haʻalele ʻo ia i kahi hoʻoilina e lawelawe maikaʻi ai i ka ʻoihana i ka wā e hiki mai ana.
E noho ʻo Dowling ma Apple a hiki i ka hopena o ʻOkakopa, e lawe ʻia kona kūlana e ka luna kūʻai nui ʻo Phil Schller a hiki i ka wā e hoʻokele ai ʻo Apple i kahi pani kūpono. Wahi a ka hui, noʻonoʻo ia i nā moho kūloko a me waho.
