After Meta's COO, Another Top Executive To Depart Soon

San FranCisco, June 3: Following the announcement that Sheryl Sandberg will step down as Meta's COO later this year, the company is losing another Executive as part of a reorganisation of its artificial intelligence (AI) group. The company said that Jerome Pesenti, Meta's VP of AI, will depart in mid-June after helping it through the early stages of the AI transition. "We are grateful for the incredible work Jerome has done over the past over four years in building, leading, and scaling a world-class AI function for Meta," the company said in a blogpost. "In the new model we will distribute the ownership of these AI systems back to Meta's product groups," it added. To continue advancing both the AI technology and community, Meta said it will also convene a new cross-functional AI leadership team led by Joelle.
