Who Would You Put On Apple's Board?

Just a suggestion as to one current board member who should be dumped: Bill Campbell of Intuit.

Its development and support of Quicken for Mac has been nothing short of pathetic, with the feature set lagging behind its Windows version for years. And even with its delayed release, Quicken Financial Life for Mac looks to be no better. I can't understand why Apple would want someone on its board who is part of a company that puts only a token effort into its software development for Macs.

If not me how about Jack Dorsey or Biz Stone from Twitter?

Given that Apple is considering other ways of getting into financial space (potentially challenging PayPal) I would suggest bringing someone in with a financial background--perhaps CEO/CFO from one of large banks, GE Finance or the like. They have good representation from consumer based industries but if they truly are going to make the Iphone, Ipod into a financial instrument they need to pull some additional strength from that market space for additional insight.

Apple's board could reflect more innovation and ties to new product development and supply chains to create more shareholder value with this crew:

Morris Chang, creator of TSMC and fabless semiconductor business model (imagine the concept of the iFab!)

Peter Lynch from Fidelity - cash flow and investment specialist to innovate and create overall shareholder value.

Bill Ford, chairman at Ford Motor Company. Environmental credibility as well as avenue into synergistic products for automobiles (Ford gets continued source of innovation in exchange).

Andy Grove, former Intel CEO.

It should be someone like myself, visionary like steve himself...

I'm with me, in a sense. I think a low-income non-CEO consumer of Macs (seven years) might add a sense of compassion to the needs of the non-BMW consumers. Maybe then Apple would be more open to making non-profits feel more welcome, and make a few lower cost options, such as a mini-tower.

How about Michael Dell or Jeff Bezos? :)

Bill Gates
Mark Andreeson
Mike Judge
Dick Cheney

Michael Dell? Gawd, how humiliatingly hilarious would that be for Michael? What has it been, just 12 yrs since Dell recommended that Apple should be shut down for lack of a viable future? Great stuff.

Not specifically sure, but it should definitely be someone with significant international experience. Europe, Asia, Latin America are huge potential growth areas for Apple, so the board should include people who have intimate knowledge of these markets. Granted, Andrea Jung's Avon has a strong international business, but the board could really use someone from outside the U.S.
