Meta’s long-time infrastructure leader Santosh Janardhan is set to leave the company in the new year, with former Amazon Web Services (AWS) executive David Brown taking over leadership of its infrastructure operations.
Janardhan, who has been with Meta since 2009 and currently serves as Head of Infrastructure and Co-Head of Engineering, announced his departure in an internal memo, according to news reports. He said it was time to “pass the baton” to Brown, who joined Meta in July after serving as a senior vice president at AWS.
Janardhan will support Brown through the first quarter of 2027. In the internal memo, he described Brown as an experienced infrastructure leader with the technical depth and judgement required to guide the company’s next phase of development.
