Whilst being the CEO of a FTSE 100 company is very impressive, Angela is going to head up the retail division of the world's largest company.

I'd take a guess that if Apple Retail was a separate company from Apple, it'd still be worth more than the whole of Burberry.

I agree. But this isn't about how much money the company is worth but the amount of control she has.

As seen before, most people don't get to sit on the Head of Retail chair for a long time and can be removed by Tim Cook at any time. Angela could have stayed as CEO for at least one more decade.

I assume that they are compensating her heavily for his move.
