Pretty weird news, considering leading retail stores is completely different from handling HR. I don't think this will work out for them.
"After five years leading Apple's retail and online stores, Angela Ahrendts is planning to leave Apple in April for new personal and professional pursuits," according to the letter, which was signed Tim.
He continued: "Angela has inspired and energized our retail teams with the vision of stores as a place where the best of Apple comes together to serve customers and communities. During her tenure, the in-store experience has been redefined with programs like Today at Apple, and our relationship with customers is stronger than ever."
He also noted that O'Brien has been involved with Apple retail since the first store opened in 2001.
"Deirdre was part of the team that planned and launched Apple's very first online and retail stores," Cook wrote in the email. "She has been a part of Retail's exciting expansion and every product launch since."
