Google loses another executive to FaceBook

Filed under: Google, facebook — Kyle M Brown @ 12:58 pm

Ethan Beard confirmed that he has resigned from Google as its Director of Social Media to join FaceBook as its Director of Business Development. Seems to be a trend.

Says Ethan:

I think Facebook is great for a variety of reasons: the company has an innovative product with amazing growth, the team they have assembled is first rate, and the business is at a very exciting time in its development. I am excited to join Facebook at a time and in a role where I can have a significant impact on its core business and bottom line.

My initial thoughts were, why leave Google if innovation is what drives you. Google seems to have a handle on the innovation thing.

Becoming a faceBook employee Pre IPO is very good motivation.
