Several prominent CEOs previously served as Chief Operating Officers (COOs), using the role to master operations and supply chain management before taking the top spot. Notable examples include Apple’s Tim Cook, American Express’s Ken Chenault, and Disney’s Bob Iger, all of whom transitioned from COO to CEO. [1, 2, 3]
Here are some CEOs who were former COOs:
Tim Cook (Apple): Served as COO under Steve Jobs, overseeing the global supply chain before becoming CEO.
Ken Chenault (American Express): Served as operations chief before his 17-year tenure as CEO.
Bob Iger (Disney): Served as President and COO from 2000 to 2005 before succeeding Michael Eisner as CEO.
James Quincey (Coca-Cola): Served as President and COO from 2015 to 2017 before becoming CEO.
Richard Templeton (Texas Instruments): Served as COO in 2000 before becoming CEO in 2004.
Alan Schwartz (Bear Stearns): Served as President and COO before becoming CEO.
Rocco "Roy" Gori (Manulife): Served as President overseeing global operating businesses before becoming CEO. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
The COO position is often considered the "heir apparent" to the CEO role, as it provides crucial experience in running the company’s daily operations. [2]
