Meta Confirms Dina Powell McCormick and Patrick Collison as New Board Members

The appointments, effective April 15, come as Meta bolsters its political and business connections ahead of a looming FTC antitrust lawsuit.

Meta Platforms has officially announced the addition of Dina Powell McCormick, a former Trump administration official, and Patrick Collison, CEO of Stripe, to its board of directors.
The new appointments expand Meta's board to 15 members and reflect a strategic shift toward politically connected and business-focused leadership.
Powell McCormick brings extensive experience in government and finance, having served as Deputy National Security Advisor under Trump and as a senior official in the George W. Bush administration.
Collison, a prominent fintech entrepreneur, previously served on Meta's Advisory Group and brings expertise in economic development and technology innovation.
The board expansion aligns with Meta's broader efforts to navigate increasing regulatory scrutiny, including an upcoming antitrust lawsuit from the FTC over its acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp.
