Recognizing the remarkable contributions of Anthony Mallott and Jaeleen Kookesh
Saturday, November 11, 2023

Two incredible individuals, Anthony Mallott and Jaeleen Kookesh, have announced they are leaving their roles at Sealaska. As they move on to pursue new opportunities, we take this moment to reflect on their contributions to our company and communities.

Anthony Mallott’s tenure at Sealaska has been nothing short of transformative. His leadership as CEO has been marked by a commitment to our cultural values and stability across the organization. Under his guidance, Sealaska has not only grown as a corporation but has also deepened its roots within the communities it serves.

Jaeleen Kookesh, in her role as Corporate Secretary and Vice President of Policy and Legal Affairs has been a driving force behind our public policy and advocacy efforts for the better part of the last decade. Her dedication and unwavering commitment to supporting efforts to protect our way of life and advocating on behalf of our landless communities have significantly impacted Sealaska’s mission and success.

Their influence extends beyond their specific roles. Both Anthony and Jaeleen have been integral parts of our company’s journey, contributing to our shared values and growth. They both first joined Sealaska through our internship program and eventually landed roles as officers for the company.

As they transition into new chapters of their careers, we express our deepest gratitude for their dedication, hard work, and the invaluable impact they’ve had on Sealaska. Their legacy within our company will endure, and we wish them nothing but success and fulfillment in their future endeavors.

Their departure marks the closing of one chapter and the beginning of another for Sealaska. We remain committed to our mission and vision, building on the strong foundation laid by individuals like Anthony and Jaeleen.

Please join us in extending our heartfelt appreciation and best wishes to Anthony Mallott and Jaeleen Kookesh as they embark on their new ventures. Their contributions will continue to inspire us as we move forward.
