• Schultz joined the company in 2007 and held responsibilities across various domains like developing Meta’s brand strategy and WhatsApp privacy campaigns, according to his LinkedIn page.
• Shares of Meta were up 10 per cent after Bloomberg News reported earlier on Wednesday that the company is building a cloud business to sell excess AI computing capacity.
• A 17-year veteran at Meta, Moreno began her career managing email marketing and growth experiments, she said in a separate post.
• Axios first reported about Meta naming Schultz as its chief data officer and elevating Moreno as CMO.
• Meta is projected to spend as much as $145 billion on AI infrastructure this year, a significant portion of Big Tech’s more than $700 billion outlay on the technology.
