BEIJING: Apple Inc said it has appointed a managing director for Greater China – a newly created role – in its latest move to localise product features and comply with new cyber regulations in China governing foreign technology firms. Isabel Ge Mahe, who worked in wireless technology at Apple for over nine years, will coordinate teams across China, the US company said in a statement. "Apple is strongly committed to invest and grow in China," chief executive officer Tim Cook said in the statement. Apple last week said it will invest in a US$1bil (RM4.29bil) project in Guizhou province which will include a datacentre run with a local partner. In the new role she will report directly to Cook and chief operating officer Jim Williams, the company said.
