Dana White
As the President and CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), Dana White has transformed the organization into a global sports powerhouse. His entrepreneurial acumen and brand-building expertise are expected to bring a dynamic perspective to Meta’s board. White expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “I am a huge believer that social media and AI are the future.”

John Elkann
John Elkann serves as the CEO of Exor, a prominent European investment firm, and holds leadership positions as chairman of Stellantis and Ferrari. His extensive experience in managing large-scale international businesses will provide Meta with valuable insights as it seeks to expand its global reach. Elkann remarked, “I look forward to bringing my global experience and long-term perspective to the board as Meta continues to shape and push the next frontiers of innovation and technology.”

Charlie Songhurst
A seasoned technology investor and former head of global corporate strategy at Microsoft, Charlie Songhurst has been advising Meta on its AI and technology roadmaps as part of the Meta Advisory Group. His deep understanding of the tech industry will be instrumental in guiding Meta’s future initiatives. Songhurst stated, “I’ve seen firsthand the opportunities to scale new products and grow AI and enterprise capabilities, and I’m honored to be asked to join the board to further this work.”

These appointments come at a pivotal time for Meta, aligning with the company’s efforts to strengthen relationships with key political figures and adapt to the changing regulatory environment. Notably, Dana White is recognized as a supporter of President-elect Donald Trump, and his inclusion on the board may signal Meta’s intent to foster closer ties with the incoming administration.

With the combined expertise of White, Elkann, and Songhurst, Meta is poised to navigate the complexities of AI development, wearable technology integration, and the future of human connection. CEO Mark Zuckerberg expressed his optimism, stating, “Dana, John, and Charlie will add a depth of expertise and perspective that will help us tackle the massive opportunities ahead.”

As Meta embarks on this new chapter, the contributions of its expanded board are anticipated to play a crucial role in shaping the company’s trajectory in 2025 and beyond.

Mark Zuckerberg has been the one to make it clear what is coming. And he did so with a telling phrase. “It will be like computers,” he said.

In fact, he has put a substitute. He talks about a product that will “gradually” replace smartphones after smartwatches failed in their attempt. They were not implemented as such and have remained as a useful accessory.

But Zuckerberg has talked about the element that will change the technological landscape. It is smart glasses. “They will become the next big computing platform,” says Mark.

This will be the change

According to him, this is what will happen with glasses: “There will come a point where your smartphone will be in your pocket more than out of it, I think that will happen during the 2030s and although you may be able to perform the task in a more complete or better way with your phone, users will opt for the convenience of glasses to do so.”

Apple, with its Vison Pro, and Meta are the most prominent companies when it comes to smart glasses, but many other technology companies are already on the way.
