Lisa Jackson, who led EPA during the Obama administration, will soon retire from Apple.
Jackson, the tech giant’s vice president for environment, policy and social initiatives, will step down in late January 2026, Apple announced last week. She has been with the company more than a decade.
Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, said in a statement that Jackson was “instrumental” in helping the company reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by more than 60 percent compared with 2015 levels.
“I am deeply appreciative of Lisa’s contributions,” Cook said. “She has also been a critical strategic partner in engaging governments around the world, advocating for the best interests of our users on a myriad of topics, as well as advancing our values, from education and accessibility to privacy and security.”
