Report: Apple has finally found its new retail head. Burberry
chief executive Angela Ahrendts will step in as senior vice president responsible
for retail and will report directly to Tim Cook starting in the spring of 2014
The American Business women joined London based Burberry in
January 2006 and was previous with fashion brands Liz Claiborne and Donna
Karan.
CNN reported that she was the highest paid female CEO in the
UK in 2012, thanks to a total compensation package of ($26.3 million) for the
year.
53-year old Ahrendts is the new candidate. She has headed
luxury fashion brand Burberry since 2006, and prior to that has 8 year tenure
as executive vice president for Liz Claiborne.
The Burberry chief executive pay for 2012 amounted to over
$27 million so that chances are Apple stepped in the solid offer in that ballpark.
A message from Apple
CEO 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”
