Apple announced on Monday that Avon Products CEO and chairman, Andrea Jung, has joined its board of directors. Ms. Jung will be the eighth member on the current board.

Ms. Jung also serves on the board of directors of the General Electric Company and is a member of the New York Presbyterian Hospital board of trustees and the Catalyst board of directors. She graduated magna cum laude from Princeton University, is fluent in Mandarin, and served as the first woman elected chair of the Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association from March 2001 until early 2005.
