Former Trump adviser Dina Powell McCormick has become the President and Vice Chair of Meta. Powell McCormick, wife of Republican Pennsylvania Senator Dave McCormick, served as President Trump’s deputy national security adviser during his first term.
Trump congratulated Powell McCormick’s appointment, declaring on Truth Social, “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! President DJT”
Powell McCormick was an “invaluable member of Meta’s Board of Directors, and she’s been deeply engaged as we’ve accelerated our pursuit of frontier AI and personal superintelligence,” the company explained, going on to note that it is “creating the massive physical and financial model that will power the next decade of computing — including data centers, energy systems, and global connectivity at an unprecedented scale.”
Meta Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a statement that “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.”
As part of Meta’s management team, Powell McCormick will “guide the company’s overall strategy and execution” by partnering with the “compute and infrastructure teams to ensure our multi-billion-dollar investments execute against our goals and drive positive economic impact in the communities where we operate around the world.” She will also make an effort to establish “strategic capital partnerships” to expand Meta’s investment capacity, the company said.
