On February 5^th, Apple announced that retail chief, Angela Ahrendts, is moving on after spending five years in the role. This news in itself isn’t terribly shocking, considering the average tenure for a C-suite executive hovers around 5 years. What’s most interesting about this story is that Ahrendts’ successor is Apple human resources chief, Deirdre O’Brien, who will be operating in an expanded role of senior vice president of Retail + People.
