Apple's vice president for public policy and Apple's government affairs, Cynthia Hogan, has announced that she will leave the company that Tim Cook runs next June, as we can read in Axios. The reason for the decision to leave Apple is because Hogan has been selected as a member of the Joe Biden election committee.
Hogan joined Apple in April 2016. Since then, he has worked for Apple directly from Washington, DC, reporting to Lisa Jackson, who is ultimately responsible for Apple's environmental, political and social initiatives.
Before joining Apple's staff, Hogan was a representative of the National Football League. Shortly before, she had worked as a counselor to Joe Bien, when he was vice president of the United States under the presidency of Barack Obama. Before that, she was also working with Joe Biden, specifically in 1993, when he was a senator, becoming Director of Personnel for the Senate Judiciary Committee. before taking a break from politics to raise a family.
The Hogan hiring was seen as key to the US government debate on encryption and national security. When her signing was announced in 2016, Lisa Jackson stated that:
Cynthia's intellect and judgment have consistently distinguished her as a uniquely talented professional and we are fortunate that she has joined the Apple team.
Moment it is unknown who will be the person who will fill the vacancy Hogan has vacated, a position we don't know at the moment if it will ever be filled. In addition to Hogan, Congresswoman Lisa Blunt and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti have also joined Biden's campaign.
