Dina Powell McCormick

Dina Powell McCormick is President and Vice Chairman at Meta, a role she assumed in January 2026, making her one of the most senior executives at one of the world's most influential technology and advertising platforms. In this capacity, she is expected to lead Meta's engagement with governments, global institutions, and major business partners, leveraging her extraordinary network across finance, politics, and international affairs. Her appointment signals Meta's intent to elevate its standing with policymakers and enterprise clients at a critical moment for the digital advertising and AI industries. Prior to joining Meta, Powell McCormick was a senior partner at Goldman Sachs, where she served as a partner and member of the firm's leadership, focusing on global affairs, client relationships, and strategic initiatives. Her career at Goldman Sachs followed distinguished service in two U.S. presidential administrations: she served as Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategy under President Donald Trump and held senior roles in the George W. Bush administration, including as Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs. This combination of Wall Street credibility and Washington influence made her one of the most connected figures in American public life. In the context of AdTech and digital media, Powell McCormick's role at Meta places her at the intersection of regulatory strategy, global business development, and the future of AI-driven advertising. As Meta navigates increasing scrutiny from regulators worldwide — particularly around data privacy, digital advertising practices, and AI — her background in diplomacy and high-stakes negotiation is directly relevant. Her influence in AdTech stems less from technical platform expertise and more from her capacity to shape the policy environment and institutional relationships that govern how digital advertising operates globally.
