Meta Announces Departure of Infrastructure Head Santosh Janardhan
Meta has announced that Santosh Janardhan, the company's longtime head of infrastructure and co-head of engineering, will be stepping down from his leadership role. Janardhan, who joined Meta in 2009, has been a pivotal figure in scaling the company's technical capabilities. He is expected to transition into an advisory role for Meta Compute before fully departing next year. Dave Brown, who joined Meta earlier this year as Vice President of Infrastructure following a 19-year tenure at Amazon, will succeed Janardhan. This leadership change comes at a critical time as Meta aggressively expands its data center investments and infrastructure to maintain competitiveness in the global artificial intelligence race.
