  • Jennifer Newstead, Senior Vice President and General Counsel: Newstead is Apple's top lawyer, overseeing all legal matters. She assumed the position on March 1, succeeding Katherine Adams, who had held the position since 2017. Prior to joining Apple, Newstead served as Meta's chief legal officer for six years.
  • Molly Anderson, Vice President of Industrial Design: Anderson and her team are responsible for the design of all Apple products, accessories, and their packaging. Anderson joined Apple in 2014, and she has led the Industrial Design team since 2024, although it is unclear when she officially became a VP. Anderson succeeds Jony Ive and Evans Hankey, among others.
  • Steve Lemay, Vice President of Human Interface Design: Lemay joined Apple in 1999, and he now leads the team responsible for software design across Apple's platforms. Lemay succeeded Alan Dye, who left Apple at the end of last year to lead design for Meta's Reality Labs division.

Apple also updated Eddy Cue's title to Senior Vice President of Services and Health on the page, and he received a new headshot alongside this change. Cue gained oversight of Apple's health and fitness teams at some point after Jeff Williams retired last year. Cue is an Apple veteran, having joined the company in 1989.

Apple on Friday added three new executive profiles to its leadership page ('https://www.apple.com/leadership/') for Jennifer Newstead, Molly Anderson, and Steve Lemay.
Three clueless and mediocre yes-men to carry out Tim Cook's "vision" of creating huge profits through selling tasteless and user-unfriendly products, just like the Steve Ballmer-era Microsoft (which Apple copied flat design from).

How unbelievably clueless of Cook to have promoted those three clowns, but fired Apple's most Steve Jobs-like visionary, Scott Forstall! If Cook were CEO of Apple in the mid-1990s before Steve Jobs was brought back, Cook would've never brought Jobs back, and instead would've hired some mediocre hack from one of the mediocre-but-wealthiest Silicon Valley corporations at the time.

Hope Lemay fix the 26 UI/UX bugs, contrast, inconsistencies and problems in general.

Here's to hoping Molly has a good British accent so she can do Jony-style narrative videos.

You know the new designer has been there since 1999 correct?
Yes, which only strengthens my point that Steve Lemay is a clueless and mediocre hack (just like his boss). Considering that Lemay was hired in 1999, and the first version Mac OS X was released around two years later in 2001, he was at Apple for the entire time Forstall had used the most user-friendly and intuitive UI design in the industry for personal computers and smartphones, which was based on skeuomorphism. So how clueless and mediocre does Lemay have to be OK with Apple having copied Microsoft's user-unfriendly flat design, and to continue to this day with flat design variants such as neumorphism and glassmorphism?
