Bloomberg: Apple Approached Tosi to Be CFO

Bloomberg is out with a story this afternoon that says Apple Inc. AAPL management approached Blackstone Group's Chief Financial Officer Laurence Tosi to become its finance chief. This information was obtained from three different individuals with “knowledge of the matter.” Tosi supposedly informed Blackstone's CEO, Steve Schwarzman, that he plans to stay at the firm. Steve Dowling, a spokesman for Apple, said the company is “not conducting a CFO search.” Current CFO Peter Oppenheimer “loves the company and is extremely happy in his role,” Dowling said.
