Steve Jobs, the chief executive of Apple Inc., received a liver transplant about two months ago but is expected to return to work later this month, CNBC reported on Saturday.
Jobs, a pancreatic cancer survivor, stepped away from managing day-to-day operations for the consumer electronics giant about six months ago, citing unspecified health issues.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Jobs, 54, recieved the transplant in Tennessee. CNBC confirmed that Jobs' jet flew from San Jose to Memphis in late March.
The Wall Street Journal quoted an unidentified source as saying Jobs may return to work part-time at first. The source said Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook may continue to manage daily operations of the company when Jobs initially returns.
Some Apple directors knew about the surgery and were briefed weekly by Job's doctor, the Wall Street Journal reported.
An Apple spokesman would not discuss whether Jobs had received a liver transplant.
"Steve looks forward to returning to Apple at the end of June, and there is nothing further to say," spokesman Steve Dowling said.
