Meta hasn’t gone well since the emergence of a new financial figure that led to the restructuring of the company that is now the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
However, this does not mean that he did not seek to restore the path to promotion and justification before public opinion. And, as part of the various moves and adjustments presented in recent weeks, the appointment of Nick Clegg as head of policy and communications was recently added.
In particular, and according to the publication of the company founded by Mark Zuckerberg, Clegg will serve as president of global affairs, with the aim of giving the UK more responsibility in this area, as he has served as vice president until now.
The idea is that executives take control of relationships in policy questions inside and outside the company, including Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp; and this will include relations with governments of various countries (such as the United States, United Kingdom and European Union).
What to expect from this move in Meta?
“We need senior leaders at my level (for our products) and Sheryl (for our business) who can lead and represent us on all of our global policy issues,” Zuckerberg wrote in his post. private wall. “Nick will now lead our company on all of our policy matters, including how we engage with governments as they consider adopting new policies and regulations, and how we publicly defend our products and work,” he added.
In that regard, Zuckerberg noted that the change would allow him to focus more on leading the company as it creates new products. This means that Clegg will deal with various business and political issues that used to take up a lot of his time and energy, such as the data breach controversy or the way Facebook does business with digital advertising.
In other words, Clegg will also be tasked with handling congressional accountability and regulatory issues – as with the US Senate – while the Meta founders focus more on developing the Metaverse.
This movement was significant given Zuckerberg’s ambitions of a digital and mixed world, and as such it relied on experienced people like Nick Clegg, who we remember was the former number 2 of the UK Government, and at a time when Sheryl Sandberg, who is considered the author of Facebook to be the business giant it is today. , is no longer with the company.
