Meta Platforms Shakes Up Executive Ranks Ahead of Trump’s Inauguration
Social media giant Meta Platforms is making significant changes to its executive ranks in the lead-up to Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20. The company has announced that it will be replacing Nick Clegg, current President of Global Affairs, with Joel Kaplan, a former Republican party staffer and policy vice president.
Preparing for Trump
Clegg, a former British deputy prime minister, has stated that he is stepping down from his role at Meta Platforms, citing the New Year as the right time for him to move on. His departure marks a significant shift in the company’s leadership, particularly as it prepares to work with the new administration.
Kaplan, who was previously a staffer under former Republican President George W. Bush, brings a unique set of skills and experience to the role. He recently appeared at the New York Stock Exchange with vice-president-elect J.D. Vance, highlighting his connections in Washington, D.C.
A New Era for Meta Platforms
Clegg’s departure is part of a broader effort by Meta Platforms to position itself for success under the new administration. The company has taken steps to navigate political scrutiny and influence over elections through its social media platforms.
Stock Performance
The stock of Meta Platforms has garnered a consensus Strong Buy rating among 42 Wall Street analysts, with an average price target of $678.29. This implies 13.36% upside from current levels, making it an attractive opportunity for investors looking to capitalize on the company’s growth potential.
