Dropcam’s Greg Duffy Joins Apple — The Information (Jan 25, 2017)
Amid the recent drumbeat of departures from Apple (I’ve covered Chris Lattner, but there was also Matt Casebolt who also went to Tesla, Yoky Matsuoka who went back to Nest after just a few months at Apple, Musa Tariq who went to Ford for a big step up in responsibility, and others), this is one going the other way. Greg Duffy was an executive at Dropcam before its acquisition by Google, and is now heading to Apple. This week’s Beyond Devices Podcast (which I host with Aaron Miller) covers this recent spate of departures from Apple and whether it signifies anything. This hire is a good reminder that at a company with 116,000 employees as of the most recent 10-K, there will always be people coming and going, and we shouldn’t read too much into individual moves unless there’s clear evidence that the reasons behind the departures are significant for the company.
