Apple on Tuesday announced the promotion of Avadis "Avie" Tevanian Jr.,

PhD to the position of chief software technology officer. Tevanian will

now focus on setting company-wide software technology directions,

according to Apple.

 

Tevanian joined Apple in 1997 as senior vice president of software

engineering. Prior to his position at Apple, Tevanian was vice

president of engineering at NeXT -- the computer company that Apple CEO

Steve Jobs founded between stints running Apple. Tevanian started his

career at Carnegie Mellon University, where he was the principal

designer and engineer of the Mach operating system which served as the

basis for NEXTSTEP, leading ultimately to the development of Mac OS X.

 

Tevanian's previous position of senior vice president of Software

Engineering will be filled by another NeXT alumnus -- Bertrand Serlet,

who has been Apple's vice president of Platform Technology.

 

Jobs called Tevanian's appointment as chief software technology officer

"a seamless handoff," noting that with Panther "in great shape," now is

"a good time to let Avie return to a more hands-on technical role and

to promote Bertrand to lead our entire OS software engineering team."

He, heee... MosJan, does Microsoft has an Armenian Chief Software Technology Officer. :D

 

Vava, we should build a site, and title it. There is something about the Mac.

 

With the Mac MosJan, you would be supporting an Armenian, would that not be enough to you to buy one? :P
