Meta has named Dina Powell McCormick as its new president and vice chairman. The company made the announcement on Monday. This move comes just weeks after Powell McCormick resigned from Meta’s board of directors, signaling a major shift in leadership.
Powell McCormick brings experience from both the private sector and government. She spent 16 years in top leadership roles at Goldman Sachs, where she helped guide key business strategies. She also served as deputy national security adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump during his first term, giving her experience in high-level government operations.
Her appointment shows Meta’s focus on strengthening leadership with people who understand both business and global policy. Analysts say it could help the company navigate challenges in technology, regulation, and international markets.
This change is notable because it moves her from a board advisory role into an active executive position. As president, Powell McCormick will have a direct role in shaping Meta’s strategy, operations, and growth plans. It also reflects the company’s willingness to bring in leaders with diverse backgrounds to address its evolving priorities in social media, artificial intelligence, and digital services.
Meta has faced growing competition and regulatory scrutiny. Having an executive with both Wall Street and government experience could help the company manage risks while pursuing new opportunities. Powell McCormick’s track record in leadership and policy positions her to be a key figure in Meta’s next chapter.
