Top Facebook Communications Exec Rachel Whetstone Is Netflix-Bound

She joined the social network from Uber in July 2017

Facebook vice president of communications Rachel Whetstone is leaving the social network to join Netflix as chief communications officer.

Whetstone left Uber in July 2017 to become vp of communications for WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger.

When vp of communications and public policy Elliot Schrage revealed in June that he was stepping down, Whetstone and vp of global communications and public affairs Caryn Marooney were placed in charge of Facebook’s communications team in the interim, while vp of global public policy Joel Kaplan took over the policy side.

Prior to Uber, Whetstone spent 10 years at Google, eventually leading its communications and policy unit.
