JAKARTA - Nick Clegg, the former deputy prime minister of Britain who is now the executive of Meta announced his resignation as President of Global Affairs from Meta, after seven years of working there.

In a statement posted on Threads, Clegg said he was proud to have led and supported the team on Meta to ensure innovation could go hand in hand with increased transparency and accountability.

"I hope I have played a role in efforts to bridge the world of technology and politics very differently, a world that will continue to interact in unpredictable ways around the world," Clegg wrote.

Clegg also expressed his gratitude to Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg for their support from the start.

With his resignation, Clegg will be replaced by Joel Kaplan, someone who has served as Vice President of Global Affairs, will rise to become Chief Global Affairs Officer.

"For years we have worked together, we have been good friends as well as close co-workers - I laughed together, as well as learned from Joe," he continued.

According to him, Joe is the right person to replace his position. Not to forget, Clegg is also committed to supporting the transition over the coming months before officially leaving Meta.

"I'm looking forward to spending the next few months handing control over to Joel before leaving Meta after years of fun at the company," Clegg concluded.
