Bryan Lamkin, who has recently returned to Adobe, will assume responsibilities for cross company research and technology initiatives as well as Corporate Development. We wish Kevin well in this new chapter of his career."
Apple confirmed the hire to AllThingsD, noting that Lynch will be the Vice President of Technology at the company, reporting to Bob Mansfield, where he'll work with coordinating the hardware and software teams.
