Key Points:
- Apple is promoting Vanessa Trigub as the new Vice President of Retail Stores, overseeing all retail operations worldwide.
- Trigub was previously in charge of Apple stores in the Americas West region and will now oversee the heads of retail for Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and the Americas East region.
- Deirdre O’Brien will have fewer direct reports, with Trigub taking over responsibility for retail store operations, after previously overseeing both retail and HR departments.
As Apple’s retail team undergoes restructuring, the company has announced the promotion of Vanessa Trigub to Vice President of Retail Stores. According to a Bloomberg report, Trigub will be responsible for overseeing all retail operations worldwide, including managing heads of retail for various regions. This move simplifies the retail organization, as Deirdre O’Brien, the current VP, will no longer be in charge of both retail and human resources.
Trigub’s new role is significant, considering her background in finance, mergers, and acquisitions. She joined Apple in 2007, shortly after the launch of the first iPhone, and has held various roles within the company. O’Brien, on the other hand, has been with Apple for over three decades and is expected to retain her current role, with fewer direct reports.
This development comes on the heels of Apple’s recent executive reshuffle, which saw the replacement of Siri Chief John Giannandrea with Mike Rockwell, the current VP of Vision Pro. As Apple’s retail landscape continues to evolve, it’s clear that the company is focused on refining and streamlining its operations to better serve customers worldwide.
