Google hires veteran Apple engineer to help launch Fuchsia OS

Eminent Engineer Bill Stevenson, who is a 14-year veteran at Apple and part of the teams who launched macOS versions including Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite, El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra, and Mojave, has been hired by Google to oversee the launch of Fuchsia OS.

Fuschia OS is a next-gen operating system from Google that is expected to work alongside Chrome OS and Android and eventually become the company's unifying future OS. Stevenson's work running yearly release cadences for macOS as well as peripheral services like iCloud, AirPlay and his expertise in Mac and Windows  program at Apple make him ideal for Google's Fuschia OS team. That said, Fuchsia OS is still a few years off.
