Meta announced that two new names will participate in the board of directors as of April 15th. One of the participating names was Patrick Collison, which stands out with his technology entrepreneurship, and the other was Dina Powell McCormick, who attracted attention with his political past. The fact that the company includes these two names in the administrative staff also points to a orientation that is not limited to the business world, but also has political interactions.
Patrick Collison is known as the founding partner and CEO of the financial technology company Strepe. This company, which he founded with his brother, has become an important player in the field of payment systems worldwide. Collison is also one of the founders of Arc Institute, which operates in the field of biotechnology and scientific research. This multi -faceted experience in the world of technology can contribute to Meta’s strategic decisions in the field of digital services.
Dina Powell McCormick is a manager at Goldman Sachs for many years and skillfully managed the transitions between the state and the business world. McCormick, who managed the bank’s global dominant investment unit, has also assumed many tasks in the US government. His most striking task was Donald Trump’s first presidency during his presidency. He played an active role in shaping the Middle East policies, especially in this task.
Powell McCormick’s public career is not limited to the Trump period. George W. also took part in various diplomatic tasks during the Bush administration. He worked in positions such as Deputy Foreign Affairs of the Foreign Affairs responsible for education and cultural relations. This process shows that it has a wide accumulation of American foreign policy and public diplomacy.
McCormick is also married to Republican Senator Dave McCormick. This makes his close relationship with the Republican circles more visible. The importance of such connections cannot be denied for a technology company like Meta. The company is considered a possible strategic move in order to be prepared for political maneuvers.
The number of conservative names is increasing on the Meta Board of Directors
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a statement that these two names will make valuable contributions to the company. Emphasizing Collison’s determination to expand economic opportunities, Zuckerberg drew attention to McCormick’s experience in entrepreneurship and economic development. These statements give the message that new members will effectively participate in decision -making processes, not only the showcase. This step by Meta to diversify the board of directors can also shape future policy and investment decisions.
In addition to all these, Meta’s recent board preferences reveal a remarkable orientation. The participation of UFC CEO in January in January was one of the early signals of this change. White’s close relationship with Donald Trump and its support during the election period is a well -known fact. This brings with it that Meta has recently become more close to conservative circles.
