Apple’s vice president of App Store departing company in October
Matt Fischer, Apple’s App Store vice president, will depart the company in the coming months as the tech giant prepares to restructure as a response to global regulations.
Fischer has been in charge of the App Store since 2010. After his departure, the App Store team will be split into two teams, one responsible for overseeing Apple’s store and another for alternative app distribution.
“This has been on my mind for some time, and as we are also reorganizing the team to better manage new challenges and opportunities, now is the right moment to pass the baton to two outstanding leaders on my team.”
Fischer will be replaced by Carson Oliver, a senior director at Apple, who will run Apple’s App Store. Ann Thai, a director of App Store features, will run the new team for alternative distribution.
