Sheryl Sandberg Exits Facebook Parent Meta
Posted on 06/01/2022
Sheryl Sandberg joined Facebook in early 2008 as the chief deputy to Facebook CEO and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg. Sheryl Sandberg is stepping down from her role as Chief Operating Officer at Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook. She will continue to serve on Meta’s board of directors.
“Looking forward, I don’t plan to replace Sheryl’s role in our existing structure. I’m not sure that would be possible since she’s a superstar who defined the COO role in her own unique way,” Zuckerberg said in a Facebook post.
“But even if it were possible, I think Meta has reached the point where it makes sense for our product and business groups to be more closely integrated, rather than having all the business and operations functions organized separately from our products,” he said.
Javier Olivan, the Meta’s chief growth officer, will take over as COO this fall.
