Sheryl Sandberg to step down from Meta Board after 12 years

Meta Platforms director and former Chief Operating Officer, Sheryl Sandberg is stepping down from the board this year.  Sandberg's decision came in after she spent more than 14 years as the company's chief operating officer, in addition to 12 years on its board. Sandberg joined Facebook in 2008 as No. 2 to co-founder Mark Zuckerberg and helped the social media company to grow from a promising internet startup into a digital-advertising stalwart. She was responsible for overseeing the company’s advertising, partnerships, business development and operations.   

 

Sandberg stepped down from her position as Meta's operations chief in 2022. 

 

"Meta business is strong and well-positioned for the future, so this feels like the right time to step away," Sandberg said in the post, adding that she will serve as an adviser to the company. 

 

Responding to Sandberg, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said he looks forward to "a new chapter together". 

 

Sandberg has been a staunch defender of Facebook over the course of its many controversies, consistently arguing that executives were learning from their mistakes and honing the company's tools to better police against harmful content.
