Facebook named its next Chief Product Officer this weekend as Chris Cox in a promotion from within the company. Cox, who formerly held the position of Vice President of Product, began working as an engineer for the company in 2005 and later worked as the company’s human resources director. He is also credited with helping invent Facebook’s news feed as well as the companies “Social by Design” strategy. Techcrunch reports that the promotion will not result in an organizational change within Facebook, but rather reaffirms Cox’s position as a leader within the company.
