Meta infrastructure chief and engineering co-head Santosh Janardhan will step down from running the infrastructure team in early 2027, The Next Web reported, citing Bloomberg's account of an internal memo. Dave Brown, who joined Meta this year after nearly two decades at Amazon Web Services, will take over.

Janardhan will stay through the first quarter to assist the handover, then advise as chief technology officer of Meta Compute. The transition comes as Meta expects capital spending of up to $145B this year and has about $825B in future commitments, mostly for data centers and cloud computing.
