Sandberg, who was vital to the company’s early growth, will stay on as part of the board of directors. Zuckerberg is planning some reorganization after her departure from the executive staff.
Zuckerberg acknowledged Sandberg’s years of service in a Facebook post and spoke about changes this will bring to Meta.
