The social media company said on Friday night that John Pinette, the communications director of Facebook’s parent company Meta Platforms, would leave the company.
A Meta spokesperson said in an email statement to Reuters that Chris Norton, vice president of international communications, will temporarily hold the position.
“John Pinette has left Meta. We are thankful for his positive contributions during an intense and significant time in the company’s history, and we wish him well going forward,” the statement said.
The spokesman declined to say why Pinette left, citing Meta’s policy not to comment on personnel matters.
The Wall Street Journal first reported Pinette’s departure on Friday.
Pinette was named vice president of global communications in April 2019, according to the company’s website.
Prior to joining the company, Pinette led communications for Bill Gates’ private office and innovation lab Gates Ventures for five years, and was Google’s head of communications for Asia Pacific. He has also held several product and corporate communications leadership positions at Microsoft.
