John Herbold, former Senior Product Manager for the iCloud team at Apple, has left the company to join the youth health organization HealthTeacher. In a press release from HealthTeacher, Herbold is credited with playing a key role in the creation, development, and launch of iCloud, and for leading the development of the service’s Photo Stream feature. Herbold will serve as Vice President of Product at HealthTeacher.
“To dramatically bend the curve on youth health, we must create engaging and innovative experiences that make good health cool and aspirational—all while encouraging kids to move beyond the screen and be more active,” said John Herbold. “HealthTeacher is already playing a significant role in improving youth health through its work with teachers and schools. I look forward to leading the effort to enhance digital engagement that will equip our youth for a more successful future.” He added on his LinkedIn profile, “I’ve been fortunate enough to define, ship and market a variety of products for one of the world’s most admired product companies. That opportunity was a great privilege. Now I get to take that experience and apply it to the enormous challenge of materially improving youth health.” [via 9 to 5 Mac]
