Apple confirmed the hire, offering the following statement: "Stella brings her remarkable experience and leadership to Apple's world-class communications teams. Apple has an important story to tell — from the transformative products and services we make, to the positive impacts we have on our communities and the world — and Stella is a great leader to help us write the next chapter."
Low succeeded Steve Dowling, who was Apple's head of corporate public relations for ten years and then Vice President of Communications for five years. The executive left the company in September of 2019. Phil Schiller had handled the role before Low was brought on.
