Jerry McDougal, the second-in-command of retail at Apple, has left the company. The move leaves Apple without either a leader or lieutenant in the retail segment of the business, following the ouster of the controversial John Browett in late October. McDougal said he left the company to spend more time with his family -- a familiar story, but one that actually rings true for many employees at Apple. After Browett, CEO Tim Cook took over running retail operations until a replacement was found.
