News of Hernandez’s next destination comes one day after Facebook saw Advertising Director for Asia Sunita Kaur leave the company to join Spotify as director for Asia.

As reported by TechCrunch Facebook confirmed Hernandez’s departure in June, in a report by MarketingWeek, which only said at the time that Hernandez was leaving “to pursue an exciting new venture in the entrepreneurial world.”

Hernandez worked at Google prior to Facebook, and he also invested in startups including Apsmart, Summly, and Vyclone.
