Former Apple Music executive Rogers moves to LVMH
Ian Rogers, the music executive at Apple who stunned the industry last week with news of his departure, has revealed his new job: chief digital officer at LVMH, whose brands include Louis Vuitton and Moët & Chandon.
Rogers, 43, was in charge of the radio portion of Apple’s new streaming service, Apple Music, which includes its online radio station, Beats 1.
In 2013, Apple hired Paul Deneve, CEO of Yves Saint Laurent, to become vice president of special projects, and later that year it stunned the fashion world by naming Angela Ahrendts, the chief executive of Burberry, its retail chief.
In turn, in April LVMH appointed Hector Muelas, former creative director of worldwide marketing communications for Apple, as DKNY’s chief image officer.
