Chris Cox Returns to Facebook in His Former Role as Chief Product Officer

Other C-suite changes were also announced at the company

Chris Cox returned to the role of chief product officer at Facebook that he relinquished in March 2019, which he had left amid speculation of a disagreement with CEO Mark Zuckerberg over the company’s strategy shift to focus on private, encrypted messaging and communications services.

Cox said in a Facebook post that he contacted Zuckerberg awhile ago to express his interest in returning, and he will indeed do so on June 22.

In 2005, Cox was one of the first 15 developers to join the social network during its period of infancy.
