Summary
At a December board retreat, Mark Zuckerberg asked Meta director Dina Powell McCormick to become a key adviser on the company’s AI strategy.
Zuckerberg told her Meta was betting its future on artificial intelligence and would need to raise substantial outside capital to fund that push.
Powell McCormick, who had joined the board eight months earlier, was chosen for her ties to Wall Street and government after roles at Goldman Sachs and in the Trump administration.
The assignment underscores how Meta’s AI expansion is stretching beyond technology into financing and political relationship-building with institutions and governments.
