Apple Executive in Charge of TV+ and Sports Businesses to Depart
- Pete Distad runs Apple’s TV+, TV app and sports operations
- Move marks latest major departure from Apple’s services team
Apple Inc.’s top executive in charge of its video and sports businesses is departing, according to people familiar with the matter, reshuffling a services division that has fueled much of the company’s growth in recent years.
The executive, Pete Distad, plans to leave Apple this month, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the move hasn’t been announced. He was hired in 2013 from the Hulu streaming service, now part of Walt Disney Co., where he ran marketing and distribution.
