When Apple launched Apple Maps with iOS 6, to try to justify the disaster that at that time was the new map service (which came to replace the Google Maps application that until now was installed natively on iOS) Scott Forstall was the scapegoat and was forced to change airs.
The latest figures that Apple presented a few days ago, while it is true that they were not so bad, it seems that they have forced the company based in Cupertino to look for a scapegoat. The head of the physical and online stores that Apple has spread around the world, Angela Ahrendts, has just announced that she will leave the company next April Chance?
As announced by Apple through a statement, Deirdre O'Brien will be the one who, from Angela's departure, will take charge of her responsibilities and report directly to Tim Cook. After five years, in which many Apple Stores have remodeled both their interior and exterior aesthetics, Angela has decided to change of scene, although at the moment we do not know which will be the next company that will host her. Before working at Apple, Angela played the role of CEO at Burberrys.
As we can read in the statement from Apple.
Deirde has been with Apple for more than 30 years and will be responsible for leading the company's global reach in the retail sector, focusing on the customer, people and related processes. He will also be in charge of talent development, staffing, relationships and experience with employees, business associations, benefits, inclusion and diversity.
In the same statement, Angela states that:
The last five years have been the most challenging, challenging and fulfilling of my career. Thanks to the collective efforts of the teams, retail has never been stronger or better positioned to make an even greater contribution to Apple.
I feel like there's no better time to pass the baton on to Deirdre, one of Apple's strongest executives. I look forward to seeing how this incredible team, under your leadership, will continue to change the world one person and one community at a time.
