Apple Appoints Meta's Jennifer Newstead as General Counsel, Replaces Kate Adams and Lisa Jackson

Apple has hired Meta Platforms' Chief Legal Officer Jennifer Newstead as its new general counsel, effective March 1. Newstead will replace Kate Adams, who is transferring her duties. Lisa Jackson, Apple's governmental affairs executive, will retire in late January. The move follows the departure of Chief Operating Officer Jeff Williams and design executive Alan Dye, who is joining Meta. Newstead's hire marks a rare case of Apple poaching from Meta.
