Meta Appoints Dina Powell McCormick as President and Vice Chairman
Meta announced on Monday the appointment of Dina Powell McCormick as the company’s president and vice chairman. The company stated that McCormick will be a member of Meta’s management team, assisting in the guidance of overall strategy and execution. “Dina’s experience at the highest levels of global finance, combined with her deep relationships around the world, makes her uniquely suited to help Meta manage this next phase of growth as the company’s President and Vice Chairman,” said Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a blog post.

McCormick’s Extensive Background Signals Strategic Vision
Prior to joining Meta, McCormick served as deputy national security advisor to President Donald Trump. Trump celebrated the appointment on Truth Social, writing: “Congratulations to DINA POWELL MCCORMICK, WHO HAS JUST BEEN NAMED THE NEW PRESIDENT OF META. A great choice by Mark Z!!! She is a fantastic, and very talented, person, who served the Trump Administration with strength and distinction.” This appointment highlights Meta’s intention to leverage strategic expertise in international affairs.

A Career of Leadership Across Government and Finance
McCormick previously served under Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during the George W. Bush administration and spent 16 years at Goldman Sachs as a partner in senior leadership roles. This diverse background – encompassing both government service and significant experience in the financial sector – offers Meta a broad perspective to guide its operations and decision-making.

Meta’s Strategic Expansion Includes Former Microsoft Legal Executive
Last week, Meta also hired Curtis Joseph Mahoney, a former Microsoft legal executive who previously served as a deputy U.S. trade representative during Trump’s first term. This addition further demonstrates Meta’s commitment to assembling a team with diverse legal and governmental experience, aligning with its ambitions for global growth and strategic navigation.
