“Social pinboarding site Pinterest today announced that it has picked up two notable new hires, both longtime Apple alums, to head up its Engineering and Design departments,” Sarah Perez reports for TechCrunch.
“Michael Lopp, who was previously a director of engineering at Palantir, will head Engineering; Bob Baxley, the former Director of Design for the Apple Online Store, will become the Head of Product Design and Research,” Perez reports. “Each exec spent over eight years at Apple, where their time overlapped, as it turns out. They worked on several projects together, including Apple’s Online Store.”
