The head of the online Apple store and its Chief Information Officer are reportedly both exiting the company.
This follows on the heels of news that Apple’s head of design is also on the way out.
Apple loses three top female Apple executives
Anna Matthiasson is VP of Retail Online, which puts her in charge of the virtual Apple store. But not for much longer, according to Bloomberg. There’s no word on her reason for leaving.
Mary Demby is Apple’s CIO, and is reportedly retiring after many years with the company.
Both roles are important to the company. But not as important is the one held by Evans Hankey, VP of Industrial Design, who is reportedly also resigning from Apple’s executive team.
Ed Hardy has been writing full-time about tech for 25 years, and using it for much longer than that. His intro to Apple was a Macintosh SE/30 (which he still has), but now he uses a 13-inch iPad Pro as his primary computer.
That’s because he’s a “tablet first” type of guy. Rather than use a Macbook, he connects a keyboard case to the iPad. And instead of a desktop Mac, he connects his tablet to a 27-inch display and full-size keyboard. (So don’t try to tell him that everyone has to use a Mac to be productive.)
Before coming to Cult of Mac, Ed wrote for NotebookReview, TabletPCReview and Brighthand, as well as other sites.
