Wow, it's truly amazing that you even have to ask!! Proper grammar, whether American or British English, would dictate "... Christopher and me" in this sentence, not Christopher and I.
Her sentence was "It gives every associate a platform to talk back to Christoper and I." It needs to end with "me", as in "talk back to me", not "talk back to I". But no real person has perfect grammar in their speech.
I don't know if she wrote her dialogue but she states it all very well. She has a Steve Jobs-like enthusiasm when she's asking questions about how to best evolve the brand. I can see her being groomed as the CEO after Tim Cook retires many years from now.
Yeah. She is very forward thinking. And she's worked with supply chain and design based companies for years.
Did listen to some of her speeches on YouTube. Not impressive. I doubt she will be making any presentations at Apple events.
My impression of her presentations is she edited herself out of them. Over analyzed, over edited, they don't flow. In that sense, they are neither passionate nor honest.

No the correct when talking about yourself and someone else is to use I

You are wrong.
Queen Elizabeth II, Nov 1972:
"I think that everybody really will concede that on this, of all days, I should begin my speech with the words 'My husband and I'".
"I think that everybody really will concede that on this, of all days, I should begin my speech with the words 'My husband and I'".
Obviously, if one is beginning the speech with "My husband and I," then those words comprise the "subject" of the sentence, not the "object." If they were being used as the object, then it would have been a case of bad grammar. In the sentence at issue, "husband and I" was being used as the object. So, in fact YOU are wrong.

I was taught a simple rule in grade school. Does it sound right when you remove the other person from the sentence. IOW, "My husband and I enjoy tea." and "My husband and me enjoy tea." both sound fine to the ear, but only "I enjoy tea." sounds correct. "Me enjoy tea." just a doesn't work.
She does seem like an excellent choice, although if she makes a lot of grammatical mistakes, that might start to bug me in a long keynote. It's a small price to pay, though, if she's as good as she seems she might be.
"It gives every associate a platform to talk back to Christoper and I."
What's wrong with that grammar? (One of) The thing that bugs me with American English though is the propensity to drop the 'ly'. It's proper to say "they speak socially" not "they speak social"!
She was referring to "social" the technology medium (i.e. "Social Media") like Twitter, Facebook, etc. and not the social gathering. I think she said it properly.
Wrong. Read your reference again. The "I" in question was in the OBJECT of the prepositional phrase and should therefore be "me" which is the objective form of the pronoun.
After watching those videos, I'd have to agree that "badass" is a great adjective for her. What a great fit, both Apple and Burberry are aspirational brands, but with an underlying sense of strong values and purpose. I'm really excited to have her become a part of Apple.
To have her come from being the highest paid UK CEO to a Senior VP position at Apple says a lot about her character/priorities, about Apple itself, and about Tim's ability to convey Apple's purpose and ethos. A huge win all around.
Lastly, her skills with engaging the social aspect of the brand is probably where Apple could use the most help, perfect.
I can see her being groomed as the CEO after Tim Cook retires many years from now.
She wears outdoor coats indoors though. Plus she's older than Tim so they'll reach retirement age around the same time. Federighi is only 43 and can take over in 10 years, similar age to Ive.

She will succeed at Apple. Period.
I agree, and not least because she realises women need and carry handbags.
Another thumbs up for that video here.

Yup. When referring to oneself as the subject of a sentence, one should always use "I".
When referring to oneself as the object of a sentence, one should always use "me".
Correct: "I went home."
Incorrect: "Me went home."
Correct: "Give the book to me."
Incorrect: "Give the book to I."
This is true for compound subjects and objects joined by the conjunction "and."
Correct: "She and I went home."
Incorrect: "She and me went home."
Correct: "Give the book to Jane and me."
Incorrect "Give the book to Jane and I."

Come off it.
She seems like a badass.
