Other than Dre (and let's get real that's probably mostly for show), what other celebrities has Apple hired?
Apple has hired some really smart, high-profile people that are at the top of their individual industries like Angela Ahrendts, Paul Deneve, Lisa Jackson, Kevin Lynch, Jimmy Iovine, Ian Rogers, Anand Shimpi, Michael Gartenberg, etc.
And you know why they hired them? Because they're Apple. Most of those people probably wouldn't have left their cushy other jobs to work anywhere else.
Only Apple could get top CEOs, CTOs, COOs and a former vice president of the United States to come work for it.
The talent pool at Apple has expanded dramatically since the death of Steve Jobs. There was noone else like Steve Jobs. It's going to take a village to replace his insight, creativity, drive and intuition. That's what Cook is doing. Setting Apple up for years to come.
