The leadership of Meta is currently a subject of debate as crypto leaders from around the world are divided in their opinions of who should be in charge of the company. While Mark Zuckerberg has his fair share of supporters, a significant number of others think Meta will do better without him.
Debating Meta’s Leadership
Hodl Asset’s Jenny Ta, a veteran Wall Street self-made millionaire, and experienced entrepreneur, it would be better if Zuckerberg would step down for his position in order for Meta to succeed. She points out that it is imperative for Meta to have a new CEO to be in charge of the company.
Ta is currently the COO of NFT platform developer Hodl Assets and believes that Zuckerberg first has to deal with the lawsuits piling against him so that the image of the company would be protected, implying he would need to remove himself from the CEO position.
On the other hand, Yat Siu, chair and co-founder of blockchain game and virtual property developer Amimoca Brands, thinks that Zuckerberg is a “force of nature,” and therefore, the only person who could continue to push the company in the right direction. Siu is extremely confident that Zuckerberg is capable of making Meta a reality – although he added that he hopes a decentralized model would be used.
These opinions are a result of Facebook’s decision to rebrand as Meta and its plans to release a metaverse in the years to come – probably in a decade.
Parallels have been drawn to the early 2000s when Bill Gates found himself in a similar situation. While he was the CEO of Microsoft, the US government really went after him, and he also had to deal with plenty of lawsuits. In the end, he stepped down from his position as CEO, a decision that, indeed, ended up saving the company.
