SAN FRANCISCO - Facebook Inc’s chief product officer and one of its earliest employees, Chris Cox, said on Thursday he is leaving the company just days after Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg revealed a plan to transform the world’s biggest social network into an encryption-focused messaging company.
Cox’s departure removes a layer of management, bringing Zuckerberg closer to a family of apps that he wants to make compatible, in what technology analysts expect will be a complicated engineering task.Cox informed the company of his intention to resign on Monday, according to a regulatory filing on Thursday.
Zuckerberg told Wired magazine on March 6 that “there will be a bunch of work inside the company to make sure that we have the right folks in the right roles” to bring Facebook’s apps together and introduce more privacy features. Cathcart and Simo worked closely to bring video uploading tools and professional video content to Facebook. And growing viewership and advertising on videos are of growing importance to both the Facebook and WhatsApp apps.
Zuckerberg said on Thursday that Olivan will now lead the effort to integrate Facebook apps, a key move as the company encrypts conversations on more of its messaging services and makes them compatible.
