Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer is reportedly heading up Apple's retail operations as the company looks for a new Senior VP of Retail, according to 9to5Mac.
Ron Johnson, 52, served for the past 11 years as senior vice president of retail at Apple but recently left to become CEO of J.C. Penney.
Oppenheimer, a financial guru, has been put in charge of Apple's retail operations according to sources familiar with the search for Ron Johnson's successor. Oppenheimer is obviously an interim leader with a lack of retail experience, but his executive leadership experience is enough to give orders to his new troops: McDougal, Bridger, and Cano – who have immense retail experience. Oppenheimer won't stay retail chief forever, and is simply holding the spot until the new Senior Vice President of Retail is selected. Oppenheimer's title at Apple has not changed from Senior Vice President and CFO, he has just gained the new responsibility of the Apple retail division for the time being.
