Ann Weinzimmer is the new vice president, general counsel and secretary at Jo-Ann Stores, she announced on her LinkedIn profile.

A spokesperson for the nation's largest fabric and craft retailer did not immediately respond to an emailed request from Corporate Counsel about the status of former GC David Goldston, who still has the Jo-Ann role listed on his LinkedIn profile. Goldston, who, according to a news release at the time joined the Hudson, Ohio-based company in 2005, oversaw its $1.6 billion acquisition by private equity company Leonard Green & Partners in 2011, according to a report in Corporate Counsel sister publication Law.com.

Neither Weinzimmer, who most recently had been VP and GC at specialty food manufacturer More Than Gourmet, nor Goldston could immediately be reached for comment about their respective moves.

Weinzimmer is Jo-Ann's third high-ranking hire in recent months. In February, it announced that Wade Miquelon had officially been named president, CEO and a member of the board of directors. Then-executive VP and chief financial officer Miquelon had been serving as interim CEO since last October, when then-CEO Jill Soltau, an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump's tariffs on Chinese goods, left for the CEO role at J.C. Penney Co.

And in March, Varadheesh Chennakrishnan joined Jo-Ann as chief information officer after more than eight years in roles of increasing responsibility in the information technology organization at Ulta Beauty Inc., Jo-Ann announced at the time.

Prior to joining More Than Gourmet as its top lawyer in September 2017, Weinzimmer was in-house for more than five years at power management company Eaton, according to her LinkedIn profile.

The graduate of Cleveland-Marshall College of Law at Cleveland State University was an associate at Hahn Loeser & Parks and Benesch Law before a four-year stint as an associate at Jones Day, LinkedIn said.
