Stan Ng, on LinkedIn:

After 31 years at Apple, today was my last day. I think I got in everything I wanted to do on my last day before retiring […]

His bucket list included eating “from the last station I had never eaten from at Caffe Macs”—the pizza station, a favorite of many an Apple employee—and watching the “sunrise at Apple Park while listening to my original iPod.”

(Coincidentally, I recently found my 2nd- and 5th-generation iPod nano. Alas, unlike Stan’s iPod, whose original battery “still held up for several hours,” my batteries die immediately.)

Stan was the original product marketing manager for iPod, before taking on iPhone, Apple Watch, Health, Home, and AirPods. I never had the pleasure of working with him in a direct capacity, but our teams collaborated often. He is, as one former colleague put it, “legendary.” My congratulations to Stan on a stellar career. I wish him the best of luck after Apple.
