Meta Platforms‘ former chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg plans to step down from her position on the company’s board of directors after her term ends in May, she said on Facebook Wednesday. “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’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. Once second-in-command to Zuckerberg, Sandberg was one of the most visible executives at the company and the lead architect of its ads-based business model.
