Another Apple executive has been tapped to sit on a board of director. Pascal Cagni, Apple’s Vice President and General Manager Europe, Middle East and Africa, has been named to the board of Egg, a European online banking firm that has been aggressively expanding its operations throughout Europe. The firm cited Mr. Cagni’s work with digital technology in helping to bring customers to the bank’s services. This reflects well on his work at Apple. From Egg:

The Mac Observer Spin:
OK, first of all, "Egg" is about a really bad name. No, it *is* a really bad name. Your mileage may vary.
That out of the way, we are delighted to see another Apple executive tapped to sit on a Board. This means that Apple is getting increased credibility from the corporate space, and that will pay other dividends.
