1. Meta COO Sheryl Sandberg is stepping down. After 14 years at Facebook, several of which were spent as Mark Zuckerberg's closest executive confidant, Sandberg announced she'd be leaving the company. 

  • In interviews, employees described a marked pullback in her role and leadership on vital projects, saying she's been steadily losing power and influence at the company. Insiders also said Sandberg's public missteps and the company's shifting priorities spurred her exit.
  • Though Sandberg will begin to transition out of her role in the coming months, she'll remain on the company's board of directors, according to a post from Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg also announced that Meta's new COO will be Javier Olivan, the company's chief growth officer who has been with Meta for 15 years.
