Apple (AAPL) Hires Former Xbox Exec to Lead European iTunes Charge

February 2, 2012 10:45 AM EST
Not content with rest, Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) is continuing its hiring spree Thursday.

According to reports, Apple has tapped Robin Burrowes to lead App Store Marketing for its iTunes Europe segment. Burrowes previously worked at Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) as head of product, business, and marketing management for Xbox LIVE in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region.

Burrowes also has worked for MSN and U.K. retailer HMV.

It's not clear whether iTunes Europe is needing a revamp, though Burrowes did play a key role in the new Xbox dashboard.

Earlier this week, Apple announced the appointment of John Browett as Retail SVP. Browett was formerly CEO of U.K. electronics retailer Dixons Retail.
