I had a meeting with him earlier last year and he was identified as
lead engineer for VoiceOver. Perhaps this was a simplification of his
title or perhaps he has a broader role now...either way, he is at the
top of the project.

This is interesting news as last year he was described as,

As Senior Product Manager for Apple Mac OS X, Mike Shebanek is
responsible
for the management and development of key features and
technologies within the operating system, including Mac OS X Tiger's
integrated screen reader technology called Voiceover for
people with sight problems. ]
This role sounds a lot wider than Head Engineer for Voice Over.
Heres where
I got this info from.

Hi John:
Thanks for your email. I'm glad things went well at the
accessibility conference. It's exciting to hear how VO is changing
lives. We continue to investigate ways to improve the next release
of VO. Rest assured Apple will continue to improve VO in the
future!
