Ford said it is hiring Peter Stern, the former Apple vice president of services who helped build up the company’s streaming TV operation, to lead its effort to improve customers’ software experience.
Stern will report directly to Ford CEO Jim Farley.
“This is transformational, because the cornerstone of our Ford+ plan is creating incredible customer services and experiences enabled by great hardware and software,” Farley said in a statement.
“There’s simply no one in the world better able than Peter Stern to build this strategically vital part of our business.”
Stern joins another Apple veteran at the Blue Oval: Doug Field, who served as VP of special projects.
Field was the de facto head of Apple’s efforts to make an autonomous electric car known as Project Titan.
