Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has named Kristin Huguet as its new head of public relations, replacing Stella Low, who joined the company in May 2021.
Huguet has been with the company since 2005 and worked on a number of high profile PR campaigns, including its battle with the FBI on iPhone encryption and the "Fortnite" battle with Epic Games.

In a statement given to Buzzfeed, Apple confirmed the move: "Kristin has played an instrumental role sharing Appleâs story of incredible innovation and strong values for more than 15 years. 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.â
Low, who previously worked at Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO), is leaving to spend more time with her family, Apple said.
Earlier this week, Bank of America analyst Wamsi Mohan noted that Apple (AAPL) likely had strong growth in the App Store in its fiscal 2022 first-quarter, citing data from Sensor Tower.
