New York (CNN) — Apple veteran John Ternus will take over the $4 trillion company as CEO come September 1.

“Having spent almost my entire career at Apple, I have been lucky to have worked under Steve Jobs and to have had Tim Cook as my mentor,” he said in a press release announcing his new position Monday.

Here’s what you need to know about Apple’s incoming CEO.

What does he do?

Ternus knows Apple at its core: He is currently the company’s senior vice president of hardware engineering, according to Apple’s website. That means he led the hardware engineering behind Apple’s most recognizable products, such as the iPhone and Mac, as well as newer innovations like the Apple Vision Pro.

He played a major role in new product lines for the Mac, AirPods and iPhone. His team was essential in developing the new MacBook Neo, Apple said in a press release, and the iPhone 17 lineup.

How long has he been at Apple?

Ternus has spent a quarter of a century at Apple. He joined the company’s product design team in 2001 and eventually became a vice president of hardware engineering in 2013. Apple promoted him to the executive team in 2021, when he became senior vice president of hardware engineering.

He worked as a mechanical engineer at Virtual Research Systems before joining Apple and he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Pennsylvania, according to the press release.

What’s on his plate?

Ternus certainly has big shoes to fill. Cook has served as CEO since 2011 and led the company to reach a $4 trillion market cap in a post-Steve Jobs era.

The big question mark hanging over Ternus is Apple’s efforts in AI.

“Cook leaves a lasting legacy in Cupertino and there will be a lot of pressure on Ternus to produce success out of the gates, especially on the AI front,” analyst Dan Ives said in a note Monday.

(CNN) — Britain’s royal family will mark what would have been the late Queen Elizabeth II’s 100th birthday by unveiling comprehensive plans for a new charity and memorial in central London.

Several events are planned for Tuesday to honor Britain’s longest serving monarch, who died nearly four years ago at the age of 96.

Her son King Charles III and his wife Queen Camilla will visit the British Museum in London to view designs of the planned memorial, while her daughter Princess Anne will officially open the Queen Elizabeth II Garden in Regent’s Park, London. In a video posted on the Royal Family’s YouTube channel, Charles will also reflect on his mother’s legacy.

The planned memorial will reshape London’s St. James’ Park, featuring a translucent glass “unity” bridge evoking the tiara she wore on her wedding day as well as statues of Elizabeth and her husband Prince Philip.

The statue of Elizabeth will be wrought from bronze by sculptor Martin Jennings, taking inspiration from the famous Pietro Annigoni portrait depicting the late queen clothed in the robes of the Order of the Garter and looking into the distance, the UK’s Cabinet Office announced Monday.

As well as the planned memorial in St. James’ Park, there will be a digital memorial containing archival material of Elizabeth’s reign. People around the world will be able to reflect on their own memories of the late queen and “tag them to events and locations on the site,” the Cabinet Office said.

A new charity named The Queen Elizabeth Trust, kickstarted by a one-off £40 million ($54 million) endowment, will also continue the late queen’s legacy, providing funding for “places at the heart of local life such as community centers and green spaces,” the Cabinet Office said.

Later on Tuesday, Charles and Camilla will invite representatives from charities Elizabeth championed as well as people celebrating their own 100th birthday to Buckingham Palace.

Commemorative stamps and coins have also been released while Buckingham Palace is hosting a months-long exhibition featuring the largest ever public display of Elizabeth’s fashion.

(CNN) — Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer will step down from the Trump administration to take a job in the private sector, according to a statement posted Monday by White House communications director Steven Cheung.

“Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer will be leaving the Administration to take a position in the private sector. She has done a phenomenal job in her role by protecting American workers, enacting fair labor practices, and helping Americans gain additional skills to improve their lives,” Cheung said.

Keith Sonderling will serve as acting secretary of the Department of Labor, Cheung added.

CNN has asked the White House for more details, including when Chavez-DeRemer’s departure will take effect.

Chavez-DeRemer’s brief tenure has been one marked by turmoil as she’s come under internal investigation following complaints within the department about her conduct. The New York Times previously reported that her husband had been banned from the department’s headquarters amid sexual assault allegations. A criminal investigation into that matter has been closed.

In March, two of her top aides were forced out amid an investigation into misconduct at the agency, the Times reported.

This story has been updated with additional context.
