Ron Okamoto, Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) vice president of App Store developer relations, has retired after 20 years in the job.
Bloomberg sources say Susan Prescott, who currently oversees marketing for Apple's own apps, has stepped into the vacated position.
Okamoto's status as a former employee was revealed in a witness list that Apple produced for its upcoming trial against game developer Epic Games.
The Apple-Epic trial begins on May 3.
Apple plans to call nearly a dozen employees for the Epic Trial, including CEO Tim Cook, software head Craig Federighi, and former marketing chief/current Apple fellow Phil Schiller.
