Meta is losing its longtime head of infrastructure
Dave Brown will take over, while Santosh Janardhan stays through a transition and moves into an advisory role on Meta Compute.
Janardhan, who joined Meta in 2009 and also serves as co-head of engineering, is expected to leave next year. Brown joined as vice president of infrastructure earlier this year after 19 years at Amazon working on compute, cloud and AI. Janardhan had been tasked earlier this year with leading Meta Compute, the initiative to scale its data center investments and strategy. The reason for his departure remains unclear; his internal memo reportedly cited a need to “pass the baton.”
