Meta’s head of infrastructure Santosh Janardhan to step down in 2027, Dave Brown to succeed him

Meta said Santosh Janardhan will step down as head of infrastructure in 2027, with Dave Brown named as his successor. The transition comes as Meta deepens investment in AI compute and weighs a broader cloud services push. The leadership change matters because infrastructure spending and data-center capacity are central to Meta’s AI ambitions and capital expenditure plans. Investors should watch for further details on the timing of the handover and any signals on cloud strategy.
