Randi Zuckerberg quits Facebook

After six years with the company, Facebook director of marketing, Randi Zuckerberg, is leaving to start her own media business, RtoZ Media.

Zuckerberg, older sister of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, reportedly made the decision after taking three months’ maternity leave following the birth of her first child.

In her resignation letter, Zuckerberg says, "I have spent my years at Facebook pouring my heart and soul into innovating and pushing the media industry forward by introducing new concepts around live, social, participatory viewing that the media industry has since adopted.

"Now is the perfect time for me to move outside of Facebook to build a company focused on the exciting trends underway in the media industry.”
