Which of the senior leadership Memojis do you feel isn't representative of the individual's gender/skintone/etc?

Well, the memojis do make it look like they’re all from the same family. Nepotism alert!
Ahead of WWDC, Apple has updated its official leadership site to show Memojis for all the key executives listed on the page. Similar avatars also now appear on executives' social media accounts, as the company prepares to preview new versions of its operating system software including iOS 15, which is expected to feature major updates to the Messages app.
Apple has changed the profiles to Memojis on its leadership page once before. In 2018, Memoji avatars were used to celebrate World Emoji Day, the year that Memojis were an iPhone X feature coming in iOS 12. On that occasion, just the heads were replaced with Memojis, leaving the real shoulders in place.
This time around, the photos have been replaced wholesale with disembodied heads against dark backgrounds, reflecting the wider use of more advanced Memoji technology in Apple's WWDC 2021 promotional material.
Apple is holding a virtual keynote that will take place on Monday, June 7, with the event set to give us our first look at new operating system updates. We don't know a lot about this year's event, but everything that we're expecting to see based on rumors can be found in our dedicated roundup.
Apple plans to live stream the WWDC keynote on its website, the Apple TV app, and YouTube, but for those unable to watch, we'll be covering the event on MacRumors.com and through the MacRumorsLive Twitter account.

Skeuomorphism was "Dumb". ...If this is the new direction and push at Apple for their software updates - This would "Dumber"...
Human flaws are replaced with sanitized cartoons and reality fades away. Take the next logical step and put an image of Pickle Rick for Tim. I'm Pickle Tim!
Memojis are pathetic. They turn an old fart like Tim into a 20-something looking kid. It is about time they added real aging capability to them. They pretended to a while back, but the closest I can get to making my Memoji look my age of 63 is perhaps an age of 30! They can design all kinds of cool gadgets, but they can’t seem to get realistic Memojis! Considering that the founders and long time leadership of Apple are all in the 50+ range, you would think the Memojis would be capable of more accurately depicting them, and the rest of us old farts!
I think we have a bunch of too-critical people here. 😒 😑🙄
Apple's Memojis and Snap's Bitmojis are not supposed to be accurate depictions of a real person's face. I do think Apple should have the ability to take a combination of front-facing camera and Face ID picture to turn it into a memoji in iOS 15, though.

If you're gonna keep posting on EVERY post would you mind changing your avatar? I'm not single anymore and feel you're hitting on me with that sweet kiss kiss look in your eyes 😅😂 Maybe WWDC a good time to try an emoji? 😁
That's because you have a Mustang, all Mustang owning boomers are cool.
I think my point was that they were both [1] representative; and [2] could benefit from diversity (i.e., would be nice to have to have to use diverse Memoji's to represent Apple leadership).
What do you mean by "use diverse Memojis to represent Apple leadership"?
Whose Memoji do you think isn't representative, and how should it be different?

Instead we are stuck with Tommy from king of the hill.
which is almost a spin off of beavis and butthead, so we got really close.
Memoji never was, and never will be "a thing". I wish they would quit trying to make it "a thing". They look like they belong in a 1980s version of the board game, "Guess Who?".
Poor Steven, they turned him into a Microsoft logo.
Very few people realize that every new logo is actually a trapped Microsoft employee.
