- Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) is turning to a high-profile communicator known for championing diversity to take over its marketing and communications roles in a challenging time for the company and its public image.
- It's hired HP's (NYSE:HPQ) global chief marketing and communications officer, Antonio Lucio, to be its new chief marketing officer.
- “Facebook’s story is at an inflection point,” writes Chief Product Officer Chris Cox. “We have never faced bigger challenges, and we have never had more opportunities to have a positive impact on the world — in our families, our friendships, our communities, and our democracy — by improving our products at their core, and then by telling the story outside that we all know to be true inside.”
- Lucio replaces Gary Briggs, who announced his retirement in January.
