Facebook continues to lose its executives. This time it’s Stan Chudnovsky, head of the company’s Messenger division, who will be leaving next year, CNBC reported.
Facebook is now officially called Meta. The company has seen several executives quitting this year, including former Facebook Marketplace head Deborah Liu, who left in February to helm Ancestry.com, according to the report. Chief Revenue Officer David Fischer left in March. Kevin Weil, one of the founders of the Novi cryptocurrency division, left as well.

Chudnovsky said he loves “this company and this team,” per the report, and the decision was extraordinarily difficult for him.
“I have no plans to retire, but I am looking forward to taking a good, many months long break, spending more time with my friends, helping companies, helping people, traveling, reading, exploring and learning,” he said, according to the report.
The company has been under more scrutiny from regulators, especially as internal documents and reports have detailed the ways Facebook’s policies have caused harm in various situations.
While information is still developing, the news coming out of Meta has seemed more positive as of the last few weeks — although there’s still room for improvement.
