Burberry CEO(US) Angela Ahrendts has earned herself a greater title as Hon. Dame of British Empire. To be succeeded by current chief creative officer Christopher Bailey, Angela will be leaving her post later this year to join Apple.
Ahrendts will collect a DBE from the British Government in few weeks, although the award was confirmed in October. She will receive her honor alongside Melinda Gates, businesswoman and wife of Bill Gates, and Camila Batmanghelidjh, founder of Kids’ Company, who will earn a CBE.
