A former member of the Donald Trump administration is set to take over Meta as president and vice chairman.
The appointment means an official from the president's first administration will now be in charge of the massive social media platforms Facebook, Instagram, and Threads.
Mark Zuckerberg's Meta announced on Monday that it has called on 52-year-old Dina Powell McCormick to take the lead at the company. Powell McCormick served as Trump's deputy national security adviser for strategy from March 2017 to January 2018.
Powell McCormick was married to Richard Powell, a public relations and communications executive, but is now married to Sen. Dave McCormick (R-Penn.). Powell McCormick's maiden name is Habib; she was born in Egypt and speaks Arabic.
