pple Inc. claims the top position on
Fortune’s list of America’s Most
Admired Companies for 2008, but keeps its human resources executive shrouded in
secrecy and refuses to respond to any questions about HR’s contribution to the
company’s most admired status. The company will confirm only that the top HR
executive is Danielle Lambert and her title is vice president of human
resources. It will not disclose when she joined the company or even the most
basic information about her background.
From required disclosures in Apple’s SEC filings, it is apparent that Lambert is
married to Tony Fadell, senior vice president of Apple’s iPod division and one
of the company’s most valuable executives. Lambert holds millions of dollars in
Apple shares, stock options and restricted stock units. In 2007, she earned
$318,467 in salary and $218,570 in bonuses, plus equity awards and other
benefits. She is not an executive officer. Apple would not make Lambert
available for comment, and would not explain why it refuses to disclose any
information.
