Meta Board Expands to 15 Amid Strategic Shifts

Meta Platforms Inc. has announced the addition of Dina Powell McCormick and Patrick Collison to its board of directors, effective April 15, expanding the board to 15 members. Patrick Collison, co-founder and CEO of Stripe, and Dina Powell McCormick, a former deputy national security advisor and seasoned finance executive, bring valuable experience in economic development and business support. This move aligns with Meta's strategy to include more global business experts, possibly in anticipation of an upcoming antitrust trial. CEO Mark Zuckerberg emphasized their commitment to supporting entrepreneurs and expanding economic opportunities. The appointment of these new board members follows significant policy shifts at Meta, including changes in its fact-checking and diversity programs. These strategic additions occur amid broader efforts to strengthen Meta's leadership and navigate future opportunities.
