After WhatsApp founders, it’s WhatsApp Chief Business Officer Neeraj Arora who has announced his exit from Facebook. Read this article for more details.<\/b>
\n2018 has been quite a controversial year for Mark Zuckerberg-led social media giant Facebook. Both Zuck and Facebook have been in the news for all the wrong reasons this year \u2013 be it the Cambridge Analytica scandal, or the deletion of messages sent by Zuckerberg from the recipient\u2019s inboxes, or the security breach that affected almost 50 Million accounts. We have to say that Facebook\u2019s PR team had to do a lot of work this year to cover things up. And, amidst all that, there have also been a constant stream of reports stating Zuck having differences with the founders of the companies Facebook acquired, which ultimately led to their exit. Well, it\u2019s not just the founders though, Facebook\u2019s Chief Security Officer Alex Stamos too left the company back in August, and, the latest person to join the list of top executives leaving the company is Neeraj Arora.
WhatsApp \u2018s Chief Business Officer Neeraj Arora has announced his exit from the company. Arora joined WhatsApp back in 2011 and is one of the early employees of the company. He has been associated with Facebook since 2014 after the social media giant acquired WhatsApp for a whopping $19 Billion. Arora was also expected to be the CEO of WhatsApp after Jan Koum\u2019s exit, but that role was given to Chris Daniels instead.
Arora announced his exit through a post on Facebook. Here\u2019s what he said:
Before Arora, WhatsApp CEO and Founder Jan Koum left the company this year in April. And before him, WhatsApp Co-Founder Brian Acton left the company last year in September. More recently, Instagram founders Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger too announced their exit from Facebook. And not to forget Oculus CEO and Co-Founder Brendan Iribe who bid goodbye to the company in October.
With Neeraj Arora having left WhatsApp, it now remains to be seen who\u2019s appointed as the company\u2019s next Chief Business Officer. Last week, WhatsApp appointed Abhijit Bose as the Head of WhatsApp in India.<\/p>\n
