The Spaniard will replace Sheryl Sandberg, who announced on Wednesday (Jun 1) she was stepping down from Meta.
The move comes as Meta struggles with slowing growth and rising costs. It is transforming from a social media company to one focused on building the "metaverse", a collection of virtual worlds that could be a decade away.
Olivan, who grew up in the Pyrenees region of northern Spain, holds degrees in electrical and industrial engineering from the University of Navarra and a master's in business administration from Stanford University.
Before joining Facebook in late 2007 as head of international growth, Olivan, 44, worked at Japan's NTT and Siemens.
When he joined, Facebook was a young company with about 40 million users and now has nearly 3.6 billion users across Facebook and other apps such as Instagram.
While overseeing its international moves, Olivan pushed Facebook's expansion into countries such as India, Japan, Russia, Indonesia and Brazil, according to an interview he gave in 2010 to VentureBeat.
