Randi Zuckerberg, director of marketing at Facebook and sister of CEO and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, is leaving the company after six years to start a new media firm called RtoZ Media which aims to help companies become more social, reports AllThingsD.
AllThingsD, which published what it says is a copy of her resignation letter, quotes Zuckerberg as saying:
“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. We have made incredible progress, but there is still much to be done and other ways I can affect change. 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.”
In a statement Facebook said, “We can confirm Randi has decided to leave Facebook to start her own company. We are all grateful for her important service.”
Zuckerberg, who has been on maternity leave with her first child, was recently nominated for an Emmy Award for her work on “Facebook Live,” a real-time news show she created and hosted for the company.
