Which person became Facebook’s first president in 2004?

Sean Parker became Facebook’s first president in 2004.

Parker was an early internet entrepreneur who had previously co-founded Napster and helped create the file-sharing service Plaxo. He met Mark Zuckerberg through Eduardo Saverin and became an important adviser during Facebook’s early expansion.

As president, Parker helped shape the company’s business direction and encouraged Zuckerberg to move Facebook toward Silicon Valley. He also helped secure early investment from Peter Thiel, who became Facebook’s first outside investor.

Parker was not Facebook’s chief executive officer; Zuckerberg retained that role. Parker left the company in 2005 after a drug-related arrest, but his early influence remained an important part of Facebook’s startup history.
