Interesting, but I hope she wasn't hired because she and Tim both like to use the word "amazing" to excess.

Hosting an Burberry event with the iPhone 5s all over the place certainly turned out to be a good carreer move for ms Ahrendts.
She's a big fan of Eric Schmidt!!

do some research....
and you'll see this lady is a very smart cookie, I'd say on scale of 1-10 up in the 8/9's and compared to Mr Browett? another league. She seems to be very in touch with herself, very grounded and probably looking forward to getting out of London pollution/British weather! Dare I say it, I think she will be on stage at the Apple events more than once or twice, she has a good presence and conviction.

Thought that was Meredith Vierra for a second! I hope she brings something fresh to the Apple Store experience. I've been a little disappointed lately with the service there. Employees all seem overwhelmed and in a hurry to get to the next customer. Understandable since they're always so busy , but there has to be a way to improve!
"One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong"... https://www.apple.com/pr/bios/ - and it's about time.
Oh please. She's already famous, successful and wealthy. Past those landmarks in a person's career, it just becomes about new challenges and having fun. Plus, I imagine she wants to move back to the US and CA in particular. Great place if you're loaded - I bet she buys into Pac Heights.
Amazing move - they've managed to entice the CEO of a top fashion house to move to a retail focused role. Will be interesting to see how she changes thing.
PS: still disappointed with the fascination of Tim's sexuality. Not sure why it became a point of discussion in a topic re the appointment of a new senior vice president.

Have you been inside a Burberry store? They aren't pinching pennies. When they sell $150 umbrellas and $1000 trench coats they drive growth through revenue.

Maybe. They are the same age, though.
Solid move by Apple. She is very capable and successful. I am sure she will push Apple even higher.
She is kind of hot cougar too.

And? I admire Bill Gates, doesn't mean I have to use his former companies products.
She sounds like she's a good pick for the retail job, but I'm not sure folding in online under the same position is a good idea. I have a feeling it will get marginalized, as most of her attention will go to retail. The Burberry.com site is not great, so we have that example to draw from.
Yes it was a rhetorical question. Point being, people can and do make mistakes. Unfortunately Steve Jobs fanboys don't think he ever made a mistake.
Its the glasses - you breathe heavy and they dont know what the hell you're doing.....
You'd think his biggest fans would have read the biography. Even if a person didn't read it, they'd have to know that Steve's halo was often worn crooked.

It's entirely up to you. Some people don't mind being crude or boorish, but don't expect others to not notice.
New Retail Chief
Maybe she'll see the light and introduce the radical concept of actually having some stock available when launching new products because the iMac and iPhone 5s launches were not properly prepped for prime time . Along with something like the ' Maps' disaster Apple will be creator of their own downfall if they don't get back to their former high level .
Possibly bad news for price levels though but we'll see .....
