Meta (Facebook) COO Sheryl Sandberg Steps Down
After 14 years with the mega social media platform, COO Sheryl Sandberg is stepping away. According to her post on, you guessed it, Facebook, she iterates that when she started with Facebook, she wasn’t actually looking for a job when Mark Zuckerberg approached her to join the team.
Sandberg has been the №2 executive at Facebook since 2008. She brought her advertising commerce skills from Google to make Facebook into the advertising behemoth that it is today. Javier Olivan, the current Chief Growth Officer, will take over the COO role. However, according to Zuckerberg, it won’t be in the same capacity as Sandberg, as he stated “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.”
