Apple is making a leadership change in its public relations department. Long-time Apple spokesperson Kristin Huguet Quayle will replace Stella Low as the company's head of worldwide corporate communications, according to Buzzfeed News and confirmed by Apple.
Quayle, who joined Apple in 2005, has worked under CEOs Steve Jobs and Tim Cook. She'll report directly to Cook in her new role. Low, who joined Apple from Cisco in May 2021, is leaving the company to spend more time with her family.

With an extraordinary depth of experience and a long track record of principled leadership, Kristin is uniquely suited for her new role overseeing worldwide communications."
BuzzFeed News notes Quayle's new job starts immediately and will likely include oversight on two long-rumored Apple projects, an AR headset and self-driving car.
