Facebook has hired some data center personnel, as well as a good number of sales and Deals-related employees according to the company’s Careers Page and LinkedIn feed.
But most prominently, Randi Zuckerberg is leaving Facebook after six years at her brother’s company, where she focused on various video marketing efforts, like launching the Facebook Live video channel. She’ll be doing more work in this area, as she explains in her resignation letter obtained by All Things D: “My goal is to launch my own innovative programming and work with media companies to develop their programming in new, and more social ways”
