Sam Odio, Facebook’s product manager for photos is leaving the company at the end of the week.

He joined Facebook over a year ago when the company acquired his photo-sharing start-up, Divvyshot in April 2010.

A Facebook spokesperson confirmed Odio’s departure via email, without revealing what his plans are.

Al lThings Digital described his joining Facebook as typifying the social network’s talent acquisition strategy:

Many long-time employees have left Facebook over the years, including early and prominent ones, and a key strategy for replacing them was to bring in entrepreneurial types through so-called “acqhires.”
