Facebook Fills Its Vacant CTO Role By Promoting Its VP Of Engineering, Mike Schroepfer
In SoMeIT (Social Media Information Technology), we are fully dedicated to satisfying all of your web needs, integrating your business to social networks.
Mark Zuckerberg has just made an internal announcement to Facebook naming its veteran VP of Engineering Mike Schroepfer as CTO, I’ve just learned from an industry source. Facebook has since confirmed to TechCrunch that Schroepfer will take the postion previously held by Bret Taylor, who left last year. Schroepfer has been at Facebook for nearly five years and led most of its latest mobile efforts as VP of Engineering. Prior to Facebook, Schroepfer, or “Schrep” as he’s referred to internally, held the VP of Engineering role at Mozilla for three years. Sources tell us that the promotion is to “represent Schrep’s long service to the company.” A company spokesperson told TechCrunch “Mike Schroepfer’s new designation as Facebook’s CTO reflects the unique and important role he plays across the company.” Facebook has experienced a significant loss of top talent as many VPs and Directors have left over the last 8 months since the IPO. The promotion could make sure Schrep sticks around and could inspire hope in newer Facebook employees about their potential for advancement. With Facebook’s focus clearly centering on bringing the mobile experience to all devices, including the desktop, this move makes complete sense. This is apparently the week for social companies to hire CTOs, as Twitter did the same yesterday. This is developing.
