The management team at two Apple divisions has changed, and this time the Siri project has not been affected, Bloomberg analyst Mark Gurman has learned. New employees have appeared in management positions in Apple Music and the company’s international relations department.
Oliver Schusser remains the head of Apple Music, but he has two deputies who will run the structure jointly with him and report directly to him. They are Rachel Newman, who has long served in senior positions at the company, and TikTok music veteran Ole Obermann.
The changes will reduce Schusser’s workload: last year, he was given responsibility for other Apple divisions, including TV+ and sports projects. He also has to oversee the company’s Beats brand and its services in international markets. Schusser, in turn, reports to Eddy Cue, the company’s senior vice president of all online services.
A number of changes have taken place in the international affairs division: “the Asia and Europe [departments] will remain at the same reporting level as the US government relations, which is overseen by Tim Powderly.” Nick Annman, deputy to Lisa Jackson, who reports directly to CEO Tim Cook, is now responsible for relations with the governments of India and China, and is also the point person for interactions with the administration of US President Donald Trump.
