"As long as I've been at Apple, Deirdre has been the glue that bonds our operations, sales, marketing and finance teams to deliver products to our customers," said Cook in a statement late on Friday.
"She is a superb leader and I'm thrilled she will be bringing her experience and talent to this critical role," Cook added.
O'Brien joined Apple in 1988 and runs a global organisation.
