Today, current Meta global affairs chief Nick Clegg has announced that he is leaving the company, and will be replaced by his deputy Joel Kaplan.
Clegg, who at one time was the Deputy Prime Minister in the U.K., has suriname b2b leads played a key role in Meta’s government relations and negotiations over the past seven years, during a critical period in which the company came under intense political and regulatory pressure.
But now, Clegg is moving on to explore new opportunities.
As per Clegg:
“I will be forever grateful to Mark and Sheryl Sandberg for taking me on in the first place – and to the many colleagues and teams I have had the good luck to work with ever since. It truly has been an adventure of a lifetime. Having worked previously for close to two decades in European and British politics, it has been an extraordinary privilege to gain a front row insight into what makes Silicon Valley such an enduring hub of world leading innovation. The pace and scale of change has been as dizzying as it has been ambitious.”
Kaplan, who’ll be taking over the role, is a former chairman of the FCC, and also served as the White House Deputy Chief of Staff under George W. Bush.
He’s also, according to reports, long pushed for Meta to take a more hands off approach to political speech in its apps.
