Former Branch founder Josh Miller is branching out to Washington, D.C., leaving his post as product manager at Facebook to become the first director of product at the White House.

Former Facebook engineering director David Recordon made a similar move in March, joining the White House as director of information technology.

Facebook acquired Branch and sister service Potluck in January 2014, and Miller joined the Facebook Conversations group, eventually becoming product manager for its Rooms stand-alone anonymous chatting application from Facebook Creative Labs.

Miller announced the move in a blog post:

I put my college studies on hold to create a technology startup, Branch.
