元器件交易网讯 4月8日消息,据英国《每日邮报》报道,巴宝莉(Burberry)CEO安吉拉·阿伦茨(Angela Ahrendts)或将于本月赴任苹果零售部高级副总裁。
今天是阿伦茨的庆功会,英国报纸称,英国女王将出席这个“低调”仪式,庆祝阿伦茨的业务贡献。
但是很显然,女王不会出席,英国商业大臣文斯•凯布尔(Vince Cable)将负责该流程。据《每日邮报》称,凯布尔将庆祝阿伦茨恢复巴宝莉品牌。《每日邮报》认为阿伦茨将于本月正式加入苹果。
凯布尔将为这位有三个孩子的母亲致颂词,称她是“商界里程碑式的人物”,是“下一代英国年轻人才的好榜样”。他会说:“她以其天赋和创新,加上良好的商业头脑,振兴了英国标志性的品牌 。”
苹果曾称阿伦茨将会在春季离开巴宝莉,担任苹果零售高级副总裁。《每日邮报》称她将于本月离开,但不清楚这仅仅是个错误还是一般的猜测。
“她于去年10月放弃巴宝莉,本月将前往苹果,巴宝莉设计师克里斯托弗贝利将接任她的位置。”
目前,在巴宝莉高管页面她仍然是CEO,名字尚未出现在苹果高管页面。然而春天意味着她不久会加入苹果。

外媒原文如下:
Angela Ahrendts, soon to be ex-CEO of Burberry, is to become a dame today according to the Daily Mail. The retail magnate will become a Dame of the British Empire in a ‘low key’ ceremony according to the British paper, for her contributions to business.
The Queen will not be in attendance, apparently. The government’s business secretary Vince Cable will instead lead proceedings. According to the Daily Mail, Cable will congratulate Ahrendts for her restoration of the Burberry brand. The Mail also believes that Ahrendts will join Apple this month.
Mr Cable will pay tribute to the mother of three, from Indiana, describing her as a ‘landmark figure in business’ and a ‘powerful role model to the next generation of young British talent.’
He will say: ‘She has revitalised this iconic British brand with flair and cutting edge innovation, allied with sound commercial acumen.’
According to Apple’s original release, Ahrendts is due to leave Burberry and join Apple this “spring” as SVP of Retail. The Daily Mail report says that she will leave this month, but its unclear whether this is simply an error or
general speculation.
She quit in October last October to head up Apple’s retail operations this month and was replaced by top Burberry designer Christopher Bailey.
Currently, she remains listed on Burberry’s executive page as CEO and does not appear on Apple’s leadership page. However, the “spring” timeframe means she must be joining Apple in the near future.
