“I have decided my time at Facebook is coming to a close. When I think about the projects I am most proud of during my six years at the company, they all have one thing in common — they revolve around the intersection of traditional media and social technology,” Randi Zuckerberg said.
Facebook confirmed Randi’s exit and in a statement said, “We can confirm Randi has decided to leave Facebook to start her own company. We are all grateful for her important service.”
Zuckerberg plans to introduce new concepts around live, social, participatory viewing. “My goal is to launch my own innovative programming and work with media companies to develop their programming in new and more social ways. In attacking this challenge, Facebook will clearly be a central element in all of my projects,” she said. “We have made incredible progress, but there is still much to be done and other ways I can affect change.” She adds.
