Why is she getting popular?
The appointment is causing quite a stir online because it marks a rare shift in top executive leadership directly from the company’s board of directors, and also because of her deep ties to both Wall Street and the US government. This news is trending for several reasons, such as it is highly unusual for a board member to resign and be appointed as the chairman of the company just a few weeks later. This suggests that Zuckerberg sees them as an “indispensable” asset to Meta’s survival in the AI arms race.
As a former top adviser in the Trump administration, he played a key role; his appointment by the Mets is being seen as a strategic move to build a “bridge” with Republican leadership and the global political stage. She brings a level of financial “heavyweight” status that tech companies with 16 years at Goldman Sachs usually reserve for CFOs, not Presidents.
She has multiple connections to the global finance communities. She joined Meta’s Board of Directors, where she was seen as a standard move to bring a seasoned financier into the boardroom. Later, she suddenly resigned from the board with immediate effect on 19 December 2025, but didn’t mention any specific reason in the SEC filing, which fueled online speculation and “theories.” Presently, Dina Powell was announced as President and Vice President within just three weeks.
Before joining Meta, Dina Powell served as deputy national security advisor to President Donald Trump. She was the second former member of the Trump administration to join Meta.
