Meta Platforms announced Friday that Dina Powell McCormick has resigned from its board of directors, ending her tenure just eight months after joining the company.
The resignation took effect immediately, according to a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, which did not list a reason for her departure.
Powell McCormick joined Meta's board in April as part of an effort to expand the board's size and add leaders with strong backgrounds in business and government.
At the time, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said she would bring valuable experience supporting companies and entrepreneurs. She was appointed alongside Stripe co-founder and CEO Patrick Collison, Reuters reported.
Although Powell McCormick has stepped down from the board, she may continue working with Meta in another way.
A source familiar with the matter said she is considering a broad advisory role that could focus on investments and long-term strategy.
However, the source stressed that no final decision has been made. Meta also does not plan to fill her vacant board seat, leaving the company with 14 directors.
