Dan Neary, Meta’s Asia-Pacific head, is stepping down after 12 years with the company for personal reasons, with plans to stay on for a few months to ensure a smooth transition. Neary joined in 2013 and played a key role in expanding Meta's presence in Australia, Greater China, and Southeast Asia, significantly boosting user bases and ad revenue in the region. His departure coincides with Meta's increased focus on AI investments under CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and a successor has yet to be named.
