Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced on Wednesday that Nick Clegg will lead the company’s policy efforts as president of global affairs.

In his announcement shared on Facebook, Zuckerberg said Clegg will “lead and represent us for all of our policy issues globally.”

“Nick will now lead our company on all our policy matters, including how we interact with governments as they consider adopting new policies and regulations, as well as how we make the case publicly for our products and our work,” Zuckerberg’s statement said.

“Our company is at an important inflection point and we face numerous opportunities – and challenges – ahead,” Clegg said in response, adding that he was “hugely looking forward” to playing a role in the societal debate to which Meta’s products contribute.
