Looking at Facebook’s Director of Strategic Partnerships, Ime Archibong, one sees the figure of a Hollywood honcho; the type whokeeps you glued to the tube in a box office thriller-crime movie. With his huge, tall frame sitting ona well built macho body, Archibong could have passed for another Arnold Schwarzenegger or Sylvester Stallion of Rambo fame.

The difference, however, is that Archibong plies his trade in Silicon Valley and not in Hollywood. He directs activities atFacebook and not on a movie set. He leads the team focused on accelerating Facebook’s product strategy by establishing partnerships, driving product integrations and unlocking new business opportunities with leading companies across multiple industries andsectors.Call him Zuckerberg’s deputy and you would not be far from the truth, because they seem to be Siamese twins in fashioning new ideas that have transformed Facebook into something much more than a social media initiative. The fact that they are beside each other at every trip and event Facebook is expected to play active part, says it all.
