Meta Announces Leadership Transition in Global Affairs

In a significant move, Meta's President of Global Affairs, Nick Clegg, has announced his resignation after a seven-year tenure with the company. Clegg, who previously served as the UK's deputy prime minister, is set to be succeeded by Joel Kaplan, Meta's current Global Public Policy Vice President and a well-known Republican figure.

Clegg expressed confidence in his successor, stating, "Joel is quite clearly the right person for the right job at the right time." This leadership change comes at a pivotal moment for Meta, as the company seeks to strengthen its ties with Republican leadership following CEO Mark Zuckerberg's recent engagement with President-elect Donald Trump.
