Santosh Janardhan is stepping down as Meta's longtime head of infrastructure and co-head of engineering, with former Amazon executive Dave Brown taking over the role as Meta scales infrastructure for AI workloads.
He will be replaced by Dave Brown, who joined Meta earlier this year as vice president of infrastructure. Before Meta, Brown spent 19 years at Amazon, focusing on computing power, web services and artificial intelligence.
The next day for Janardhan
Janardhan will remain with the company temporarily to facilitate a smooth transition and then take on an advisory role on Meta's compute capabilities. His departure is expected to be finalized next year.
Janardhan had been with Meta since 2009. The news first emerged in an internal memo leaked to Bloomberg, which discussed the need to hand over the reins to new people. The memo did not specify the reasons for his departure.
The big investments in artificial intelligence
Meta's infrastructure investments have grown rapidly in recent years as the company tries to keep up with advances in artificial intelligence. Earlier this year, Janardhan was tasked with leading an initiative to expand the company's data center investments and strategy.
