Global social media giant Facebook has appointed former McKinsey and Oliver Wyman consultant Derya Matraş as its new Regional Director for the Middle East, Africa and Turkey. Derya Matraş – a former associate partner at McKinsey & Company and one time Oliver Wyman consultant – has been named as Facebook’s new Regional Director for the Middle East, Africa and Turkey. Matraş joins Ramez Shehadi, previously of Strategy& and Booz Allen Hamilton, who was recruited last year to lead the social media giant’s operations in the Middle East & North Africa.
