Key Points:

- Dave Brown brings 19 years of experience from Amazon, where he specialized in compute, cloud, and AI technologies.
- Janardhan, who joined Meta in 2009 and played a key role in its growth, will remain with the company temporarily to assist with the transition and will move into an advisory role on Meta Compute.
- The reasons for Janardhan’s departure have not been publicly disclosed, but his memo mentioned the need to “pass the baton.”
- Bloomberg initially reported the departure based on an internal memo, and Meta has not provided further clarity on the decision.
