Apple hires Billy Sorrentino, Wired’s current head of creative
One of the top editors at Wired magazine has been hired by Apple. Billy Sorrentino has announced that he will leave the publication to take on a yet-to-be-announced role with the tech giant, according to a report on Apple Insider.
The magazine confirmed the move but Apple has not offered details of the role Sorrentino will be taking.
Sorrentino has been the head of creative at Wired since 2013, overseeing the brand’s four creative departments – photo, design, video and production. He was responsible for cross-channel brand presence on print, web, digital editions, mobile, social, retail and live events.
It is unclear how Apple will utilize Sorrentino’s talents, but he is known for his design skills. He was formerly design director at Condé Nast’s digital publishing arm, prior to his work at Wired. He was also head of design at Maxim, Blender and WWE, and ran his own design agency from 2003 to 2010.
David Moretti, previously Wired’s deputy creative director, will take Sorrentino’s role at the magazine, according to a story on Recode.
