The Apple manager in charge of the new iCloud service has left the company, joining start up Health Teacher as the company’s vice president of product.
“HealthTeacher announced today that John Herbold has joined the company as Vice President of Product. Prior to joining HealthTeacher, John was a Senior Product Manager on the iOS team at Apple Inc,” the company said.
Before working on iCloud, Herbold was part of the MobileMe team as well. Health Teacher chief executive Scott McQuigg said in a statement he will serve as a great asset to the company.
“Applying his experience developing world-class interactive products, John will lead our efforts to broaden digital engagement with kids, their families and their teachers, all focused on measurably improving youth health.”
However, the move to Health Teacher raises questions about the current management of iCloud, and its future ahead of a full launch.
