Avon cosmetics CEO Andrea Jung is taking a seat on the board of Apple. Why? Good question.
 

Jung is the first woman to sit on Apple’s board in a decade, and that she heads up one of the most feminine companies in the world. Avon touts itself as the "company for women," empowering millions of female entrepreneurs. The world of technology is distinctly male, but if there’s a high-tech company that appeals to women, it’s Apple.

 
Jung is an expert in marketing on a global scale
 
Jung is also an expert in corporate social responsibility
 
In China, Avon has set up an m-commerce program that allows sales reps to order cosmetics, track orders and set up accounts over their phones
 

In China, Avon isn’t a pure direct-sales operation. Instead, it operates a hybrid model that blends 5,500 retail stores, or beauty boutiques, with 130,000 direct-sales reps.

 
Perhaps Jobs is thinking of setting up hundreds of small Apple boutiques all over China
