John Solomon, hired by Apple to sell its products to big businesses and government, has left his position, the company said on Tuesday.
Apple hired Solomon, a longtime HP Inc. executive who had run HP’s global consumer printing business, in 2015 as vice president for enterprise and government.
Solomon did not return a request for comment. Apple confirmed his departure but declined to comment further.
The impact of Solomon’s departure on Apple’s enterprise efforts was not immediately available, but Apple has increased its efforts to sell to large businesses in recent years.
