Reality Labs COO departs following internal reorganization at the division

  • Meta’s Reality Labs Chief Operating Officer (COO) Dan Reed will depart the company after nearly 11 years.

    “I see SO much exciting opportunity in this space, to which I eventually intend to return to lead and grow something cool and exciting,” Reed wrote in a LinkedIn post. “In the meantime, I’m very excited after this 20+ year run to take an extended break and spend quality time with my wife and two boys, reconnect with friends and family, and recharge.”

  • He was COO since May 2022.

  • Reed’s departure follows a recent layoff of about 100 employees in Reality Labs and reorganization of the group in January, which saw some teams reporting to him being distributed across broader Meta leadership.

  • In February, Meta’s CTO Andrew Bosworth told employees that 2025 will determine whether they will succeed in Metaverse.
