Javier Oliván will be the new number two of Meta, the company that brings together Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, and will become Mark Zuckerberg's right-hand man after the departure of Sheryl Sandberg, who until now was head of operations. "When Sheryl joined me in 2008, I was only 23 years old and barely knew anything about running a business. We had built a great product, the Facebook website, but we still didn't have a profitable business and were struggling to go from being a small emerging company to a true organization," said the entity's CEO.
"Sheryl designed our ad business, hired great people, built our management culture, and taught me how to run a business. She created opportunities for millions of people around the world, and she deserves credit for much of what Meta is." today," the tycoon wrote on Facebook to fire Sandberg.
Later, in the same message, he already referred to Oliván. "Javi will become our next COO as he will now lead our integrated ads and enterprise products, as well as continue to lead our infrastructure, integrity, analytics, marketing, corporate development, and growth teams," he continued. But this function will be different from that of its predecessor.
"It will be a more traditional COO role that Javi will focus on internally and operationally, building on his strong track record of making our execution more efficient and rigorous," Zuckerberg said, accompanying the brief with other appointments. "As part of this, Molly Cutler, our VP of Strategic Response, will be joining Javi's team and reporting to Naomi Gleit."
Oliván is in charge of developing the Metaverse, one of Meta's big bets for the future. This Huescan, before developing his career in the company, was in charge of its international projection when it was still operating under the name of Facebook.
