Meta Infrastructure Chief Santosh Janardhan to Step Down

Santosh Janardhan, who has worked at Meta since 2009 as head of infrastructure and co-head of engineering, announced his upcoming departure in an internal memo. He will be succeeded by David Brown, a former senior vice president at Amazon Web Services who joined Meta in July. The leadership change comes as CEO Mark Zuckerberg seeks to expand data center operations and advance the company's artificial intelligence ambitions. Meta expects full-year capital expenditures between $135 billion and $145 billion, drawing increased investor scrutiny and a recent credit rating adjustment by S&P Global Ratings.
