As Facebook Plans for More Deals, It Hires Google Corp Dev Leader Amin Zoufonoun

Facebook bought ten companies last year, and told us to expect more this year — and today it is putting itself in a better position to execute on that plan, by hiring Google veteran Amid Zoufonoun.

Having been at Google since 2003, Zoufonoun has led major acquisitions including On2, Grandcentral (Google Voice), Metaweb, Widevine, Feedburner, and Simplify Media, according to his LinkedIn profile.

His title will continue to be director of corporate development once he starts at Facebook next week.
