WW International, parent of Weight Watchers, has appointed Jacqueline Cooke, a former top attorney at 23andMe, as general counsel and corporate secretary.

Cooke steps into the role following the December departure of prior legal chief Michael Colosi, amid the New York-based company’s financial restructuring and shift toward medications for chronic weight management. He received $918,772 in severance, bringing his 2023 compensation to $2.18 million, according to WW’s recently filed proxy statement.
