A Creative Voice in the C-Suite: Best Buy Appoints 'Chief Design Officer'

In what we hope is a nascent trend, Best Buy has announced that it will add a chief design officer to its executive ranks. The multinational retailer of technology and entertainment products and services, which in its most recent fiscal year generated a whopping $49.7 billion in revenue, has appointed Aura Oslapas to the new position. She begins work for the Minneapolis-based company on September 15. As senior vice president and chief design officer, Oslapas will lead Best Buy’s design and brand identity team worldwide.
