Meta chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg is stepping down. Sandberg has been COO of Meta, previously called Facebook, for 14 years.

Sandberg joined the company in 2008 to help the then-23-year-old Zuckerberg navigate the path to an IPO and build an ads business, which she has led since. His current chief growth officer Javier Olivan, already one of the company’s most powerful but lesser-known executives, will take over as COO in what Zuckerberg says is a “more traditional” COO role. Sandberg will leave her post as the company’s No. 2 leader in the fall after spending the next few months working with founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg to transition her direct reports.

Sandberg will stay on the board of Meta, according to the company. Javier Olivan, another executive at the company, will takeover as chief operating officer ...

The company needs to find a new way forward, and perhaps this was the best time for Sandberg to depart.” And in 2022, Meta is facing a slowdown in user growth and ad revenue that is now testing the business foundation that the company was built on. Sandberg played a crucial role in transforming the social media giant into an advertising powerhouse that generated nearly $120 billion in revenue last year. Sandberg’s move “allows Meta to focus on optimization and efficiency as they remain under tremendous pressure and dangerous competition” from the likes of Apple Inc. AAPL, -0.09%and Alphabet Inc.’s Google GOOGL, GOOG,, says Eric Schiffer, chairman of Reputation Management Consultants. “Zuckerberg will gain far more power at Meta, with Sandberg out of the picture. “Looking forward, I don’t plan to replace Sheryl’s role in our existing structure. In an interview with Bloomberg News, Facebook’s No. 2 executive said her decision didn’t come lightly “but it’s been 14 years.

Why it matters: Under Sandberg's leadership, Facebook parent company Meta grew to be one of the most powerful technology companies in the world. Between the lines: Much of Sandberg's 1,500-word post describes her close relationship with Zuckerberg, who was 23 when he hired Sandberg as his deputy. Sandberg at the time was 38 and was leaving a high-level role at Google to take a chance on the young CEO.

Meta launched a review of Sandberg’s actions to investigate whether she violated corporate protocols, sources close to Sandberg told the Journal, but in a statement to the Journal, a Meta spokesperson said Sandberg didn’t use her influence at the company to pressure the Daily Mail. Zuckerberg said Wednesday that Sandberg met him when he was 23 and “barely knew anything running a company,” adding the outgoing Meta COO “architected our ads business, hired great people, forged our management culture, and taught me how to run a company.” Sandberg has also been a vocal advocate for women, including through her 2013 book Lean In, in which she encourages women to advocate for themselves at work and at home. Sandberg came to Meta—which was previously known as Facebook—in March 2008, after working for Google and the Clinton-era Treasury Department. Over the last 14 years, she has helped grow the company into one of the tech industry’s most influential players.

With Hamilton and Williams in the mix, there will be time to find where Clark fits into the scheme. "And with the rookies, it's a lot, because it's something new every day, so you're trying to learn the new things and fix the other things. The upgrades at secondary have certainly benefited Baltimore in OTAs, already seeing what Hamilton can bring to the safety position in his rookie year. We have so many great pieces, and the way we're trying to teach the system is so conceptual," Macdonald said Wednesday. "So, we're really not asking them to play positions, per se, all the time. Elliott signed with the Detroit Lions in free agency, part of Baltimore switching things up at safety. The Baltimore Ravens have plenty of talent in the secondary after revamping the unit this offseason.

SAFFORD – Karl Newton, 51, of Safford has been charged with 18 separate counts of sexual exploitation of a minor through possession and/or sale of visuals that ...

The findings prompted HSI Special Agents to serve a federal search warrant on the residence on W. 18th Street where Newton was residing in Safford on Aug. 5, 2021.

First quarterback to throw four touchdown passes in a single game with five different teams (Buffalo Bills, Tennessee Titans, Houston Texans, New York Jets, ...

Fitzpatrick only improved with age, as he's completed 64.7% of his passes for 7,999 yards for 50 touchdowns to 33 interceptions in his final 33 games -- all coming after the age of 36. Fitzpatrick has started for nine different teams, the most by any quarterback in league history. His 223 touchdown passes are the most for any player to graduate from an Ivy league school.

After 17 seasons in the NFL, veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is retiring from football, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Thursday.

Left to watch on the bench, Fitzpatrick suddenly heard his number called in a moment of desperation in a Week 16 game at Las Vegas. In 2015, Fitzpatrick found some stability with the New York Jets (due in part to a locker room altercation that forced Geno Smith out of action), keying an exciting season that nearly saw New York reach the postseason. Fitzpatrick promptly entered the game and found himself facing a do-or-die fourth down situation. St. Louis traded Fitzpatrick to Cincinnati for a seventh-round pick in 2007, and the quarterback ended up starting 12 games for the Bengals in place of the injured Carson Palmer. He went 4-7-1 as a starter and impressed other NFL clubs enough to earn a three-year deal with the Buffalo Bills in 2009. Fitzpatrick first saw the field as a result of an injury to Rams starter Marc Bulger and appeared in four games (three starts) in 2005, going 0-3 as a starter. Fitzpatrick threw a touchdown pass to 62 different players in his career, coming in behind a trio of passers ( Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Vinny Testaverde) who have thrown a touchdown pass to more than 62 different players in NFL history.

Ryan Fitzpatrick, one of the NFL's most charismatic quarterbacks, is retiring after playing with nine teams in 17 seasons.

After the second game, when Fitzpatrick threw four touchdowns, he conducted his postgame news conference wearing teammate DeSean Jackson’s jewelry and black jacket, opened just enough to expose his hairy chest. Fitzpatrick played two seasons with the Rams (2005-06) and two with the Cincinnati Bengals (2007-08) before his run as a four-year starter with the Buffalo Bills (2009-13). He spent a season each with the Tennessee Titans and Houston Texans before a two-year stint with the New York Jets. Fitzpatrick sent text messages to former teammates on Thursday, including former Buffalo Bills running back Fred Jackson, who shared his message from the quarterback on social media.

The 39-year-old played for nine teams across nearly two decades in the league, including a one-game stint in Washington.

In 2018 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he became the first player in NFL history to throw for at least 400 passing yards in three consecutive games. Fox Sports announced in May that Tom Brady will become its lead analyst after he retires, positioning him to join a host of quarterbacks-turned-broadcasters including Troy Aikman, Tony Romo, Peyton and Eli Manning and Drew Brees. Fitzpatrick, who also played for the Cincinnati Bengals, Tennessee Titans, Houston Texans and New York Jets, started for all nine teams he suited up for but struggled with inconsistency and never played in the postseason. He earned the nickname “FitzMagic” for his memorable performances off the bench and timely plays under pressure. But Fitzpatrick suffered a partially dislocated right hip in Washington’s Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers and was later placed on injured reserve for the rest of the 2021 season. He would pass for more touchdowns than any quarterback in that draft class except for Aaron Rodgers.

The veteran quarterback revealed he plans to retire from the NFL after an eventful 17 seasons in a text message shared by former Bills running back Fred Jackson ...

If this is indeed the end of his career, Fitzpatrick’s unique announcement feels like a fitting send-off for a player beloved by teammates, coaches and fans alike for his personality and charisma. The journeyman QB highlighted teammates from his early days with the Rams in St. Louis on through his subsequent stints with the Bengals, Bills, Titans, Texans, Jets, Buccaneers, Dolphins and the Football Team/Commanders. The veteran quarterback revealed he plans to retire from the NFL after an eventful 17 seasons in a text message shared by former Bills running back Fred Jackson on social media.

Ryan Fitzpatrick announced his retirement on Thursday, spending 17 seasons in the NFL after beginning his career with the Rams.

After two seasons with the Rams, Fitzpatrick would proceed to have a memorable career where he played for nearly half the league. While Fitzpatrick’s playing days appear to be over, there are reports that he’s going to be beginning a career as an analyst on TV, so his beard and personality won’t disappear for too long. Throughout his legendary career, Fitzpatrick went through quite a transformation.

Ryan Fitzpatrick has called an end to one of the NFL's most varied career, with the news on Thursday that the veteran will retire.

He was a star at Harvard before being drafted by the St Louis Rams in the seventh round of the 2005 draft. He started at quarterback for nine different teams – an NFL record – over 17 seasons but never appeared in the postseason. Fitzpatrick delighted and frustrated fans in equal measure due to his refusal to take the safe option.

Francisco Lindor slammed his finger closing a door and missed the New York Mets' series opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday night.

Lindor's right middle finger was swollen and the nail bed was blackened. I felt like I had my heart in that finger." "I ran around the room for like three minutes.

Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who's started for an NFL-record nine teams, is reportedly retiring after 17 seasons.

He’s the only player to throw a touchdown against one opponent ( Eagles) while playing for seven different teams. Following one-year stints with the Titans and Texans, he was traded to the Jets and had his best season. The four-year tenure would prove to be his longest and wildest, as Fitzpatrick's uneven play led to four last-place finishes in the AFC East and his 2013 release.

On Wednesday, Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor knocked in at least one RBI for his 10th straight game, becoming the only player in franchise history besides ...

And I went to close, I didn’t think the other one would close, they closed at the same time, and the next thing you know, I have a swollen finger,” Lindor explained. Lindor wrapped up May by winning NL Player of the Week thanks to his recent hot streak. They’ll be without Lindor for Thursday’s series opener against the Dodgers, after he suffered a freak finger injury, accidentally closing his hotel door on his hand.

The Mets, however, are not closing the door on Lindor returning to the lineup on Friday.

We were actually looking to see if he was going to be able to DH, but we're probably going to wait a day. In other words, Lindor will be missed for as along as he's out. We were seeing if he might be able to play, but [he's] probably going to need a day.

Lopez had been on the run since May 12 and is believed to have murdered one adult and four minors on Thursday in Centerville.

The officers fired at Lopez and disabled the bus by shooting a rear tire, the department said. As Lopez was being transported, he somehow freed himself from his hand and leg restraints, cut through the expanded metal of the cage, and crawled out the bottom, TDCJ said. He said the driver’s wounds weren’t life-threatening. When officers arrived at the residence around 6 p.m., they discovered the bodies of one adult and four minors. At this time, TDCJ says the family did not have any relation to Lopez.
