Meta’s longtime infrastructure head Janardhan to depart in early 2027

Meta says longtime infrastructure head Santosh Janardhan will leave early next year, marking a leadership change in the teams that support the company’s technology operations. His departure also affects engineering leadership, as he is a co-head of engineering.

Dave Brown will succeed Janardhan. Brown joined Meta earlier this year as vice president of infrastructure, after nearly two decades at Amazon Web Services. Janardhan gave no reason for leaving in a staff memo, and is expected to remain through the first quarter of 2027 to help with the transition.
