Apple's senior vice president of industrial design, Jonathan Ive, have been reported by BBC to have been placed on the list of people to be knighted this year. Ive described the honour as "absolutely thrilling" and said he was "both humbled and sincerely grateful". Per Apple's leadership page Jonathan Ive is London-born and is the senior vice president of Industrial Design at Apple, reporting directly to the CEO. Since 1996, he has been responsible for leading a design team widely regarded as one of the world’s best. According to Steve Jobs' biography by Walter Isaacson, Jobs confided that he had left Ive with "more operational power" than anyone else at the company. For me just opening the box of a new iPhone, iPad or Mac is an amazing experience, the design of box and it's contents is first class. Well done Jonathan you deserve being called Sir Ive. So what do you think about Apple's leadership team?
