All is not well between Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Meta’s highest-paid employee as the company’s new reporting structure shows
Meta’s newest reporting structure is exposing something leadership has tried to hide—friction between CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his highest-paid employee, Alexandr Wang. Multiple sources close to the company reveal that Wang, the 28-year-old founder Zuckerberg recruited for $14 billion, finds the CEO’s hands-on management suffocating. At the same time, current staff question whether Wang has the chops to lead Meta’s $600 billion AI bet.
The tension surfaced this fall during a crucial meeting. Wang’s TBD Lab team and longtime executives Chris Cox and Andrew Bosworth clashed over strategy.
