Jobs also previously served as CEO of Pixar Animation Studios; he became a member of the board of directors of the Walt Disney Company in 2006，following the acquisition of Pixar by Disney.

In the late 1970s，Jobs-along with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak，Mike Markkula and others-designed，developed，and marketed one of the first commercially successful lines of personal computers，the Apple II series.

On August 24 ,2011 ,Jobs announced his resignation from his role as Apple's CEO. Jobs died in California at age 56，seven years after being diagnosed with cancer. At the time of his resignation，and again after his death，he was widely described as a pioneer and genius-perhaps one of the foremost-in the field of business，innovation，and product design， and a man who had“deeply" changed the face of the modern world，revolutionized at least six different industries，and an“exemplar for all CEOs”.His death was widely mourned and considered a loss to the world by reviewers across the globe.
