Apple hires burberry lady

Apple has hired the second fashionista in months and this time it’s a nice lady from Burberry.

Burberry, for those less in the fashiony know, is a british luxury fashion house. They’re fancy and most well known for this:

The trench coat, not the celebrities. Although a lot of celebrities like wearing Burberry. Cos it’s fancy.

The CEO of this fancy fashion house has just been announced as the Senior Vice President of Retail and Online Stores for Apple. She will be in charge of the strategic direction, expansion and operation of both Apple retail and online stores.

According to Tim Cook:

“I am thrilled that Angela will be joining our team, she shares our values and our focus on innovation, and she places the same strong emphasis as we do on the customer experience.

She has shown herself to be an extraordinary leader throughout her career and has a proven track record.”

This is the lovely burberry lady in question. She will start her role in the Spring, and will be at Burberry until then.

She looks pretty cool, huh. She’s got a pretty good record in the fashion industry, so it looks like a pretty nice hire, and no one is leaving Apple’s executive team.

The lady herself has said that she’s “profoundly honored to join Apple in this newly created position next year,” and that she’s looking forward to “working with the global teams to further enrich the consumer experience on and offline.”

( That’s us, yay.)

Recent fashion-y hires by Apple include Paul Deneveformer as vice president in charge of special projects in July of this year. He was previously CEO and President of Yves-Saint Laurent, another fancy fashion house. In August Apple hired Enrique Atienza, a senior vice president at Levi’s to lead Apple’s US retail efforts.

Definitely seems like Apple is hiring on… trend….
