Meta's Infrastructure Chief Santosh Janardhan to Step Down in Early 2027
Meta Platforms announced that Santosh Janardhan, its longtime head of infrastructure and co-head of engineering, will step down in early 2027. Janardhan, who joined Facebook in 2009, has been instrumental in developing Meta's software, hardware, networks, data centers, and custom silicon programs. Dave Brown, a former Amazon Web Services executive who joined Meta earlier this year, will succeed him. Janardhan will remain through the first quarter of 2027 to support the leadership transition amid Meta's increased focus on artificial intelligence and infrastructure investments.
