Facebook CTO resigns after 13 yrs
By MYBRANDBOOK
Mike Schroepfer decided to quit from his role as a Chief Technology Officer of Facebook next year. Instead, he will be taking a part-time position as a “Senior Fellow” in the company. He will be replaced by longtime executive Andrew Bosworth, known as “Boz”, in 2022, who recently led the company’s Facebook Reality Labs.
Schroepfer, known as "Schrep", joined the company in August,2008 and is a close friend of CEO Mark Zuckerberg. His new role would include helping the company recruit and develop technical talent and promote investments in artificial intelligence.
“This is a difficult decision because of how much I love Facebook and how excited I am about the future we are building together,” Schroepfer wrote in a Facebook post. “This change in role will allow me to dedicate more time to my family and my personal philanthropic efforts while staying deeply connected to the company working on key initiatives including recruiting and developing technical talent and continuing to foster our AI investments in critical technologies like PyTorch.”
Boz has most recently been in charge of Facebook's augmented reality and virtual reality efforts, as well as hardware products such as Oculus and Portal, Facebook's video calling gadget. He has been one of the company’s outspoken executives, sporadically sharing controversial opinions about the company and technology industry at large.
“As our next CTO, Boz will continue leading Facebook Reality Labs and overseeing our work in augmented reality, virtual reality and more, and as part of this transition a few other groups will join Boz’s team as well," Zuckerberg wrote in a note to the company's staff that was posted online. “This is all foundational to our broader efforts helping to build the metaverse, and I’m excited about the future of this work under Boz’s leadership" he added.
Facebook has recently seen some of its noteworthy exits from the company including Facebook app Chief Fidji Simo, who left Facebook to become CEO of Insta-Mart, Ad Boss Carolyn Everson, who was hired as the Start-Up’s President, Chief Revenue Officer David Fischer and VR Head Hugo Barra.
