Facebook PR Exec Leaving Company

Facebook’s Director of Corporate Communications Brandee Barker is leaving after more than four years at the company (the article makes a point to mention that she was employee #120). The article from Mashable discusses that Barker is leaving to create her own early stage business consulting firm. It goes on to say that she prefers to work with early stage companies.

Facebook is definitely beyond the "early stage" of its business. An early stage company has many things to deal with. It seems many of the social media sites (Facebook and Twitter) are losing their higher up execs for various reasons. And from how the article reads Facebook is losing a PR exec that is very talented and will be missed by many writers and bloggers.

Facebook might be looking for a new PR exec but be careful you have some pretty impressive shoes to fill :)
