Apple has named Deirdre O’Brien senior vice president of Retail + People. She replaces Angela Ahrendts who led the company's retail department for five years,spin the bottle sex video and is leaving Apple in April.
O'Brien worked at Apple for 30 years, most recently as head of Apple's People department, which has now been merged with Retail.

She’s an exceptional leader and she’s been a vital partner to our retail teams around the world since the very beginning," Tim Cook said of O'Brien in a statement.

While it's hard to pin that on Ahrendts, Cook himself said the company's iPhone battery replacement program, a decline in carrier subsidies and a stronger U.S dollar were the main culprits. The fact that she's leaving at this particular time is notable. Apple says Ahrendts is leaving for "new personal and professional pursuits."
Interestingly, Vogue Businessran a big profile of Ahrendts just last week, which mostly focused on Apple, with nary a hint of Ahrendts departure in sight.
Despite Apple saying Ahrendts is leaving in April, the company already changed O'Brien's executive bio on its webpage, as noted by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Ahrendts is still listed as Senior VP of Retail, though.

Officially, Apple had only the best to say about Ahrendts. “She has been a positive, transformative force, both for Apple’s stores and the communities they serve," Cook said in a statement.
