Mark Zuckerberg
Mark Zuckerberg is an American entrepreneur who co-founded Facebook in 2004 while a student at Harvard University, building it into one of the world's largest social media platforms and later rebranding the parent company as Meta.
Zuckerberg launched Facebook from his Harvard dorm room in 2004, initially as a networking site for university students, before opening it to the general public and rapidly expanding it into a global platform with billions of users.
Under his leadership, the company acquired major platforms including Instagram in 2012 and WhatsApp in 2014, significantly expanding its reach across the social media and messaging landscape.
In 2021, Zuckerberg renamed the parent company Meta Platforms, signaling a strategic shift toward developing virtual and augmented reality technologies, often referred to as the 'metaverse,' alongside its existing social media businesses.
