The Meta's previous longtime chief labor officer, Sheryl Sandberg, will not remain on the organization's board after her term ends in May, she said in a Facebook post on Wednesday.
"With a heart full of appreciation and a psyche full of memories, I let the Met Board know that I will not be seeking re-appointment this May," Sandberg said in a post.
Sandberg left after spending more than 14 years as the organization's chief labor officer, not to mention 12 years of her workload. Sandberg ventured to step down from her COO role in the fall of 2022, marking the end of a surprising stay that has seen her become one of the most compelling organizations in the world and see it through extensive analysis.
Sheryl Sandberg is leaving the Meta board
In her post, Sandberg said she would keep parent Facebook's burden on zero when it comes to humanitarian work, but added that she would continue as a consultant to Meta.
She added that Meta's ongoing initiative group, led by President Imprint Zuckerberg, "has demonstrated beyond doubt that Meta's business is solid and strategically positioned for the future, so this looks like an ideal opportunity to step back."
"I am so indebted to you, Sheryl, for the unprecedented commitment you have made over the years to our organization and the local area," Zuckerberg said in a note on her post. "Your dedication and leadership have been instrumental to our prosperity, and I am grateful for your unwavering commitment to me and Meta over a long period of time."
Sandberg's work through her philanthropic organization Incline In focuses on helping women achieve their goals across workplaces and corporate cultures, and her book of the same name catapulted her to big name when it was distributed in 2013.
Meta did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Sandberg's decision to keep the payload up.
Sandberg's legacy at Meta
Sandberg was a major figure in the tech business at the time, joining what was then Facebook in 2008 and serving as Google's vice president of worldwide online business and tasks. Prior to Google, she held senior roles at the World Bank and the Depository Division under President Bill Clinton.
In her initial long run on Facebook, she was often referred to as the "adult overseer" for the exceptionally young pioneer's organization show.
Working with Zuckerberg, Sandberg developed Facebook's income from generally $150 million each year 2007 to more than $3.7 billion in 2011, the previous year it opened to the world. Plus, she's gained new prominence as perhaps the most compelling lady in tech.
In 2022, the year Sandberg took over as COO, Meta reported full-year revenue of $116.6 billion. Additionally, the organization's cost per share has increased by more than 860% since its initial public offering in 2012.
"Sheryl built the architecture of our promotions business, recruited extraordinary individuals, created our administrative culture and showed me how to run an organization," Zuckerberg said in a June 2022 Facebook post when Sandberg announced she would be leaving the COO role.
But Sandberg was also at the top of the organization's food chain, as the organization faced an unfolding investigation into a range of issues — everything from allegations of subverting majority rule and aiding and abetting destruction to harming high school clients.
It similarly regulated a mammoth rebranding in 2021 from Facebook to Meta, which reflected the organization's desires to refocus on building a living computer world called the "metaverse". Meta's aggressive spending on the venture raised investor concerns, and the organization saw significant cutbacks last year.
