This story was written by Rafat Ali.
This is the month of senior executives leaving the starts and big media and Internet companies: just yesterday the CEOs of Hearst and Hachette were circled out on the east coast.

He is joining to Benchmark Capital as a partner, reports ATD. But he is not cutting off his ties with Fbook completely: he will continue as a "special advisor" to Facebook Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg and to its senior management team. Is this Sheryl Sandberg cleaning house?
