Picture this: An annual conference for one of the biggest retail brands on the planet is in full swing, and San Francisco’s Bill Graham Civic Auditorium is overflowing. Thousands of individuals have applied for the privilege of buying a ticket to be here. And the tone is… monotonous. Dry. So far, it’s all about product enhancements and company announcements.
Then Bozoma Saint John walks onto the stage. And suddenly Apple’s WorldWide Developers Conference becomes electrified.
Within moments, BuzzFeed is proclaiming Saint John “the coolest person to ever go onstage at an Apple event.” Wired asks: “Who the hell is this badass woman, and how did Apple keep her secret for so long?”
