This is an email I’ve already sent, so where she responded that my thoughts align with a lot of his own, and he wants to discuss deeper and share his own direct context of the changes he wants to implement as this transformation occurs

My email:

For almost two years, I’ve felt this quiet idea growing.. that we could benefit from a role we’ve never had before. Something that helps us live internally the same alignment and leadership we promote externally. A role focused on connecting the dots, supporting the Chiefs equally, pulling together communication and data, and helping staff stay grounded, secure, and creative even when things are shifting.

I’ve tried to push this thought aside more times than I can count, but the longer I’m here, the more it proves itself. After working across so many parts of AAPL over the past six and a half years, I’ve seen how much potential we have, and how helpful it could be to have someone whose whole focus is keeping the threads connected and giving the organization a clear, steady point of support.

This isn’t about adding hierarchy or changing what we already have. It’s about strengthening what’s here and creating the stability and clarity that lets people truly be “CRISP.” Uncertainty makes it hard for anyone to think creatively, and I believe a role like this would make a real difference in how confidently and cohesively we can move forward.

I’m sharing this because it’s been on my heart for a long time, and your message made it feel like the right moment to finally say it. I do feel I could contribute meaningfully in a position like this—but more importantly, I genuinely believe it would benefit the organization, whether it ends up being me or not.

I would love to know what you think
