Ahrendts, who will be a senior operating adviser at SKKY Partners, presided over retail expansion at Apple, where she was one of the few women in the consumer-technology giant’s senior executive ranks at that time. Before that, she was CEO of Burberry, the British luxury designer whose sales more than tripled and share price quadrupled on her watch. Aside from working as an adviser to SKKY, Ahrendts sits on the boards of Ralph Lauren, Airbnb and advertising holding company WPP. Ahrendts is SKKY’s second operating adviser. The Journal recently reported that she is in talks to buy back the minority stake of her beauty company that she had sold to Coty.
