Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META) announced the appointment of C.J. Mahoney as its new chief legal officer, succeeding Jennifer Newstead, who departed for Apple. Mahoney, a seasoned legal executive with experience at Microsoft and as a deputy U.S. trade representative, will assume the role on January 7, 2026. His mandate includes overseeing global legal strategy, antitrust matters, data privacy, and regulatory compliance.

Despite the high-profile leadership change, Meta's stock remained flat in early trading. Investors appear cautious as the company navigates a complex regulatory landscape, including obligations under the Digital Services Act (DSA). The 10-K filing highlights numerous legal risks, underscoring the challenges ahead.

Mahoney's appointment signals Meta's focus on strengthening its legal and compliance framework. His expertise in antitrust and privacy issues will be critical as the company faces increasing scrutiny across multiple jurisdictions.
