Senior Meta ads exec departs amid efficiency drive

A veteran Meta advertising product executive will leave the company in May, according to an internal announcement seen by Reuters, amid a months-long pruning of projects and staff that Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg has dubbed the “year of efficiency.”

Dan Levy, currently the social media giant’s vice president of business messaging, said in a post to Meta’s internal social network on Monday that he wanted to focus on family after losing a child to leukemia.
