John Sculley

Apple museum

Description: Steve Jobs enticed John Sculley to leave Pepsi by claiming that as Apple’s CEO he would have an opportunity to change the world, not just sell sugared water to kids. It would be stretching the truth to assert that John Sculley personally dented the universe, but he absolutely altered Apple Computer. When Sculley took charge in 1983, Apple had net sales of $600 million, mostly from the ageing Apple II line. Sculley managed the transition to the Mac, ousted a beloved founder (Jobs), expanded the product line and opened up the architecture, tripled headcount, and turned in ten profitable years. When Sculley resigned in 1993, annual sales topped $8 billion (compared to $6.21 billion for 2003), giving the company the momentum it needed to survive the rough road ahead. Sculley is perhaps most famous for his championing of the Newton handheld PDA.
