Apple will appoint Qiu Qiuliang as general manager for Apple China, executives have revealed.
Qiu was previously vice-president of HP's Imaging and Printing Group. He will succeed previous Apple China leader, Ye Peng, who stepped down in April 2008.
The report warns that Qiu's corporate background may mean it takes some time for the new leader to adjust to the working culture at his new firm.
However, the new GM has extensive sales management experience, experience which may prove invaluable as Apple extends is business in China, spearheaded by its new Apple retail store in Beijing.
