We knew Palm was looking for some new talent. Jeff Zwerner is the new member of Palm’s management team. He is listed as the Senior Vice President, Brand Design for the company.

Jeff Zwerner’s role in Palm will be to “apply his significant expertise in strategic brand design and management to Palm’s global advertising, marketing communications, PR, events and web design.” And according to his LinkedIn page, he’s been an Apple employee twice; once as a Senior Art Director from 1995-1996, the second time as the Creative Director for Packaging in 2001-2003.

Zwerner has plenty of experience in the industry. In 1996, he founded and was principal of the San Francisco office of Factor Design, a European-based strategic design consultancy. At Factor Design, he delivered award-winning work for organizations such as Apple, Coca-Cola, Gap, GE, Hewlett-Packard, L.L. Bean, Nike and the Walt Disney Company. He’s also received numerous national and international awards according to his bio page at Palm.

In the words of our good pal Dieter Bohn:

Welcome to the party, Mr. Zwerner! Now that Palm has managed to steer their brand in the right direction with the Pre – we look forward to seeing it kicked into overdrive.
