Melvin Hagberg, the founder and CEO of Scape, shared an unexpected interaction with Apple executive Tim Cook that quickly went viral across social media. After taking a leap of faith and sending an email directly to Cook, the founder received a personalised reply just four days later, which shocked him. There was nothing serious in the e-mail.
Hagberg just praised Cook and called him an “inspiration” after he stepped down as Apple CEO, passing on the role to John Ternus.
“You are a huge inspiration for me. Thanks for everything! Cook, who has led Apple since 2011, will become the company’s executive chairman, Apple said in a statement.
“I have such massive respect for you as a CEO, and everything you’ve done for Apple as a company,” the Scape CEO wrote. “One time I emailed Tim Cook because a safety issue/physical injury caused by an @Apple device and supervisors didn’t solved as requested, but I never received any response back,” a third wrote, highlighting that getting a response from such people is also a matter of luck.
