If There’s Smoke ∞
Apple announced Tuesday that it hired Angela Ahrendts, the chief executive of Burberry, the British luxury fashion company, as a member of its executive team.
Ahrendts will be taking over the position that has been empty since John Browett was fired almost a year ago.
In the last few months Apple has hired the former CEO of Yves St Laurent to work on “special projects for Tim Cook” and one of the people who “played a key role in the development of Nike’s FuelBand.”
Apple is definitely gearing up for something in the wearables space.
