Social
media giant Facebook is loosing two of its key employees, product manager
Justin Shaffer and communication manager Ashley Zandy — with one of them
reportedly grabbing an opportunity with Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba.
Shaffer,
who joined Facebook in 2010 when the company acquired his startup Hot Potato,
has helped lead several past projects, including Facebook Group and Facebook
Places.
A company
source said Shaffer is considering setting up a new venture capital fund.
Zandy was
with Facebook for more than two years and is reportedly leaving to become the
associate director of international corporate affairs for Alibaba. She will
remain in Silicon Valley and supervise all corporate and financial
communications outside of China.
Despite the
high-profile departures, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the company will
continue to spend aggressively on infrastructure and headcount this year.
