According to The Mac Observer, there’s a bit of shaking going on in Apple’s executive team. No, we’re not referring to the whole Papermaster drama. It seems that Apple’s senior VP of Enterprise Sales, Al Shipp, is leaving the company. Mysteriously, his post will not be filled, and the people below him will report instead to John Brandon, the Senior Vice President of Sales, Americas, and Asia Pacific.
Suspicious? Well, who knows, really? Shipp was with the company since 2004; it’s true that Apple’s presence in enterprise is not its bread and butter, but it seems like the company has been seeing growth there in recent years. We’re sure people will be leaping to any number of spurious conclusions about what this means for the company as a whole. Personally, we’re of the opinion that this is all just a ploy for Apple to ramp up their real enterprise market.
