Meta Names Dina Powell McCormick Board President and Vice Chair

The longtime Goldman Sachs executive returns to help secure financing for Meta’s AI data center expansion.

Overview

  • Meta said Powell McCormick will steer overall strategy with a priority on AI infrastructure, especially new data center construction, and on building capital partnerships.
  • She will report directly to CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who praised her global finance experience and relationships.
  • Powell McCormick previously served in the Trump and George W. Bush administrations and spent 16 years in senior roles at Goldman Sachs.
  • She joined Meta’s board in April, left in December after about eight months, and now returns in the new leadership roles.
  • The move follows early‑January leadership and policy changes at Meta, including CJ Mahoney’s appointment to lead legal, the end of U.S. fact‑checking, and diversity program shifts, as the company pursues multi‑gigawatt data centers and external financing for its AI buildout; President Donald Trump publicly congratulated her.
