Summary
October will mark Jennifer Bailey’s retirement from Apple, ending a more than 25-year run that included leading Apple Pay and Wallet since the payments service launched in 2014.
Eddy Cue told staff Apple will announce a succession plan before Bailey leaves, and said she will stay on in an advisory role to support the transition.
Bailey joined Apple in the early 2000s, led the Apple Online Store team from 2003 and became a regular face at product keynotes as Apple expanded its payments push.
The departure lands as John Ternus prepares to succeed Tim Cook as CEO on Sept. 1, adding to broader leadership changes; Bloomberg also reported corporate communications executive Josh Rosenstock is leaving separately.
