Apple is going through some big changes. Two top leaders are leaving. Kate Adams, the company's chief legal advisor, will step down next year. Lisa Jackson, who oversees environmental and social initiatives, will retire in January 2026.
Apple has already found a replacement for Adams. Jennifer Newstead will join the team in March 2026. She has a lot of experience. She used to be the top lawyer at Meta and worked in important government jobs. She even worked with the U. S. Supreme Court.
Newstead will have a big job. She will handle legal matters and deal with governments around the world. Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, is happy she's joining. He says she has the skills to help Apple grow.
Adams had a tough job. During her time, Apple faced many lawsuits about competition in the app market. Jackson worked on big projects. She helped Apple reduce its carbon footprint by 60% since 2015. She also worked on social justice initiatives.
Apple has seen many leaders leave recently. The company's chief operating officer, Jeff Williams, left in July. The head of AI, John Giannandrea, also departed. Other AI experts have left for Meta.
These changes show Apple is evolving. New leaders bring new ideas. It will be interesting to see how these changes shape the company's future.
