From online stores to social media, from the lead network live show to the flagship store's full digital equipment, from the cooperation with Google "kiss" activities, to dozens of iPhone5S live broadcast of the show.

In Burberry, her idea is "to serve all customers in all regions and on all platforms."

Burberry, with the joint efforts of Ahrendts and her predecessor, Rose Marie Bravo, has been carrying out comprehensive rectification of the global distribution network for several years. At present, the proportion of direct sales has reached 71%. Under her administration, sales of Burberry increased from 740 million pounds in 2006 to nearly 2 billion last year.

Apple's annual sales volume is nearly $156 billion 500 million, and its direct sales account for 12%, which has doubled since two years ago and will continue to grow in the future.

After rectification, Burberry now has 69 outlets in China, accounting for 14% of its global sales. This proportion is comparable to that of apple: last year, apple accounted for 15% of the total sales in the Greater China region.

< p > - her professional image is dazzling, but her personal style is down-to-earth: she is from the midwestern state of Indiana and graduated from state Ball University (and the famous talk show host David Letterman is alumni).

Despite many years of immersion in the luxurious world of luxury goods and going to the Silicon Valley where liberalism prevails, she is a devout Christian who reads the Bible everyday and wears the cross necklace.

< /p >

< p > - she is 6 feet 3 inches (1 m 9) tall! < /p >

< p > - she will be the only woman in Apple's top management team. In the future, she will become the most brilliant female leader in Silicon Valley with the female COO Sheryl Sanderberg of Yahoo CEO Marissa Meyer and Facebook.
