Who is the current CEO of Meta Platforms (Facebook) as of 2023?

The CEO of Meta Platforms in 2023 was Mark Zuckerberg. He co-founded Facebook in 2004 and has remained the company's chief executive as Facebook grew into the broader Meta organization.

Zuckerberg led the company through its expansion beyond the original social network. Meta's portfolio includes Instagram, acquired in 2012, and WhatsApp, acquired in 2014, while its Reality Labs division focuses on virtual and augmented reality. In 2021, he announced the corporate rebrand from Facebook to Meta Platforms.

A frequent confusion is Chris Cox, who has held senior executive roles at Meta but is not its CEO, and Sheryl Sandberg, who was Meta's chief operating officer until 2022. Tim Cook is the CEO of Apple. Zuckerberg is also Meta's founder and chair, giving him substantial voting control over the company.
