“We are excited that Cynthia Bowman will serve as Apple’s next vice-president of inclusion and diversity,” an Apple spokesperson said in a statement.

“Bowman is an accomplished leader in her field and is deeply committed to the work we’re doing to advance inclusion and diversity at Apple,” the spokesperson added. — Bloomberg
