In an article about Uber, Re/Code reports that name of former Obama White House press secretary Jay Carney is “being bandied about” for the open PR chief position at Apple. Carney, who is also reportedly being considered for a job at Uber, would replace longtime Apple vice president of worldwide corporate communications Katie Cotton, whose retirement was announced in May. A June report noted that Apple was looking for “high-profile external candidates” to fill the position.
Update: Jim Dalrymple of The Loop has issued a “nope” to the Carney-Apple connection.
