Facebook CTO Departs to Build His Own Startup


Apparently the CEO of Facebook had been informed about the decision of his CTO since a long time and he wishes Brett well for his startup. “I had always been upfront with Mark that I eventually wanted to do another start-up,” Bret told AllThingsD.

“I've really enjoyed working with Bret and getting to know him as a friend and teammate. I'm grateful for all he has done for Facebook and I'm proud of what he and his teams have built. I'm also proud that we have a culture where great entrepreneurs like Bret join us and have such a big impact,” said Mark Zuckerberg about his feelings on Bret’s big move.

Bret Taylor has previously worked for Google and holds a strong startup career. He says that moving on to build a new company is a part of the usual culture in Silicon Valley.
