Luca Maestri (born October 14, 1963) is an Italian-born American business executive best known for his long-standing tenure as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Apple Inc. and his subsequent leadership within the company’s corporate services division. A dual citizen of Italy and the United States, Maestri has built a career spanning more than three decades in global finance and operations, marked by significant strategic contributions at some of the world's largest multinational corporations. Born and raised in Rome, Italy, Maestri pursued his higher education with an international focus. He earned a bachelor’s degree in Economics from Luiss University in Rome in 1987. Following his undergraduate studies, he relocated to the United States to further his academic credentials, obtaining a Master of Science in Management from Boston University in 1991. Maestri’s professional career began at General Motors (GM) in 1988, shortly after completing his bachelor’s degree. He spent twenty years at the automotive giant, entering through a management training program in Zurich, Switzerland. During his extensive tenure at GM, he held increasingly senior finance and operational positions across multiple continents, including roles in the Americas, Asia Pacific, and Europe. Notably, he was part of the team that established GM’s regional operations in Asia Pacific and later served as the CFO for GM’s operations in Europe, where he oversaw financial activities across 45 countries. Following his departure from General Motors, Maestri transitioned to the telecommunications and technology sectors. In 2008, he joined Nokia Siemens Networks as its Chief Financial Officer, a role he held until 2011. He then moved to Xerox Corporation, serving as the company’s executive vice president and CFO from 2011 to 2013. In these positions, he gained significant experience managing investor relations, risk management, tax, audit operations, and mergers and acquisitions. In February 2013, Maestri joined Apple Inc. as the Vice President of Finance and Corporate Controller. His tenure at Apple saw rapid advancement; in May 2014, he was promoted to Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, succeeding Peter Oppenheimer. As CFO, Maestri became a central figure in Apple’s executive leadership team, frequently co-hosting the company’s quarterly earnings calls alongside CEO Tim Cook. Over the course of his decade-long tenure as CFO, Maestri was credited with driving financial discipline, managing Apple's massive capital return program, and navigating the company through a period of significant growth, during which its revenue doubled and its services business expanded more than fivefold. On January 1, 2025, Maestri transitioned out of the CFO role as part of a planned succession, passing the responsibilities to Kevan Parekh. Despite stepping down from the CFO position, Maestri remained with Apple to lead the company’s Corporate Services teams, which encompass information systems and technology, information security, and real estate and development. He continues to report directly to CEO Tim Cook. Maestri resides in Cupertino, California, with his wife and two children. His legacy at Apple is characterized by his role in maintaining the company’s financial stability during a period of unprecedented global expansion, and he is widely regarded as a key architect of the operational strategies that supported Apple’s dominance in the consumer technology market.
