The only highly visible and critical Apple employee I can identify who pre-dated Steve's return to Apple is Jony Ive.

Fred Anderson, the CFO under Amelio, was kept on until the backdating scandal. He played a key role in saving Apple--they were almost cash broke when Amelio took over, and Anderson arranged a key bond issue to keep the company afloat.

And Ive was a mostly invisible, disenfranchised employee then.
