Who's who at Apple

John Browett (Senior VP, Retail)

Who is he?
Until very recently John Browett was the chief executive of Dixons retail – but he has transferred over to Apple to spearhead its retail division.

Why he matters
Browett will be in charge of expanding Apple Stores around the globe. Whether or not this means that Apple Stores will be popping up in high streets as frequently as Starbucks remains to be seen, but it's certainly an area in which his retail experience will come in more than handy.
