Apple has announced to appoint Dr Wanda Austin, former president and CEO of The Aerospace Corporation, to its board of directors. Al Gore, who has served since 2003, and James Bell, who joined in 2015, will both retire from Apple\u2019s board this year. Dr Austin brings decades of science and technology experience to her role and has a significant track record of advancing innovation and shaping corporate strategy.<\/p>\n
\u201cAustin has spent decades advancing technology on behalf of humanity, and we\u2019re thrilled to welcome her to Apple\u2019s board of directors,\u201d said Apple CEO Tim Cook. \u201cShe\u2019s an extraordinary leader, and her invaluable experience and expertise will support our mission of leaving the world better than we found it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
As president and CEO of The Aerospace Corporation, Dr Austin led an organisation dedicated to supporting the U.S. space programme and expanding opportunities for future exploration. She was the first woman and the first African American to hold the position.<\/p>\n
\u201cLike Apple, I\u2019ve always believed in the power of innovation to improve lives, support human potential, and shape a better future,\u201d said Dr Austin. \u201cI\u2019m honoured to join Apple\u2019s board of directors, and I look forward to being part of a company that\u2019s always creating new ways to empower people all over the world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
