John Browett starting work as Apple’s Senior Vice President is now as official as possible: the former Dixons Retail CEO has finally made his way onto Apple’s Executive Leadership website. This Leadership page features biographies for all of Apple’s top executives: the CEO, CFO, and all Senior Vice Presidents. Apple notes that Browett reports to Apple CEO Tim Cook, and here is his biography in its entirety:
Browett is responsible for Apple’s worldwide retail operations and replaces Ron Johnson. Johnson, along with Steve Jobs, pioneered the original Apple Store concept, and he left Apple late last year to take on the CEO role at JC Penney. In January, Apple announced that Browett would join as the new SVP of Retail by the end of April. Peter Oppenheimer oversaw retail operations, with the assistance of retail executives Jerry McDougal, Bob Bridger, and Steve Cano, during the time between Johnson’s departure and Browett’s succession.
