Meta names former Trump advisor Dina Powell McCormick as president, vice chair

Dina Powell McCormick, vice chair of BDT and MSD Partners, at the Qatar Economic Forum (QEF) in Doha, Qatar, on Wednesday, May 15, 2024.

Meta on Monday announced it has appointed Dina Powell McCormick as its president and vice chairman.

Powell McCormick joined Meta's board in April but resigned in December, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

In her new role, Meta said Powell McCormick will serve as a member of the company's management team and will help guide its 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," Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a statement.

Prior to joining Meta, Powell McCormick served as deputy national security advisor to President Donald Trump, and served under Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in President George W. Bush's administration.

Powell McCormick is the second former member of the Trump administration that Meta has hired in recent weeks.

The company said earlier this month that it has hired a new chief legal officer, Curtis Joseph Mahoney, who previously served as a deputy U.S. trade representative during Trump's first term.
