Sheryl Sandberg announces to quit Meta’s board

San Francisco: Sheryl Sandberg on Thursday announced to leave Meta’s board of directors and will not stand for re-election.

“With a heart filled with gratitude and a mind filled with memories, I let the Meta board know that I will not stand for reelection this May. After I left my role as COO, I remained on the board to help ensure a successful transition,” she wrote in a Facebook post.

“Going forward, I will serve as an advisor to the company, and I will always be there to help the Meta teams,” Sandberg added.
