One step from the top, Essex boy who reached Apple's core



He holds one of the most powerful corporate jobs in America.
His admirers (and customers) include Bono, George W. Bush and the Queen.
This year the readers of Time magazine put him among the 100 most influential people on Earth.

Could Jonathan Ive,
the publicity-shy Essex boy who started his career designing toilets and combs,
be close to performing one of the most extraordinary coups in American business history?
Could this 40-year-old gym-toned, shaven-headed, Aston Martin-driving Brit,
who lives in Twin Peaks, San Francisco, with his wife, who is a historian,
and their twin sons, be the next man to run Apple Computer?
Mr Ive, known to colleagues as Jony,
is already Apple’s senior vice-president of industrial design,
credited widely with the development of every Apple product from the iMac to the iPhone.
