Apple May Be Searching for a New Chief Financial Officer?

Apple has reportedly approached Blackstone Group LP Chief Financial Officer Laurence Tosi about becoming its new CFO, according to three Bloomberg sources.

Tosi told Blackstone Chief Executive Officer Stephen Schwarzman that he plans to stay put, said two of the people, who asked not to be identified because the talks were private. Steve Dowling, a spokesman for Apple, said the company is "not conducting a CFO search." Current CFO Peter Oppenheimer "loves the company and is extremely happy in his role," Dowling said.


Apple CEO Steve Jobs appointed Oppenheimer to the position in 2004, replacing Fred Anderson.
