Despite mixed results in virtual reality and AI, he navigated key global events including the COVID-19 pandemic and tariffs.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Recent Changes:<\/strong> The announcement comes amid executive changes in late 2025, including the departures of key AI and policy leaders.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Future Focus:<\/strong> Ternus has been instrumental in successful products like the iPad and AirPods.
