You know the names Steve Jobs , Mark Zuckerberg , and Bill Gates — the giant behind Apple , Facebook , and Microsoft . But at those companies and others , there ’s a whole social class of executives kick rearward without due recognition .
That ’s a disgrace , because these are names and people that stockholder , rival , and other company looking for talent should know .
For good example , there ’s Microsoft’sSteve Sinofsky , who salvage Windows after the Vista fiasco . At Apple , there’sScott Forstall , the guy behind the iPhone ’s manufacture - dominating software . And , at Facebook , there is perhaps the best example of this type of under - the - radar mega - gift : VP of product , Chris Cox .
Chris is a treble threat : An engineer who can build caller - defining product , an operator who can levy and manage adept multitude , and a long - term strategic thinker . He joined Facebook as an engineer in 2005 and aid build the merchandise that is now the website ’s backbone — the “ News Feed . ”
Then , in 2008 , after a period of time in which Facebook lost several primal employees andlost out on rent several high - visibility new ones , Mark Zuckerberg asked Chris to shore up Facebook ’s human resources division .
Leading that group , Chris concentre on defining Facebook ’s mission , company value , product values and how Facebook care mass . He turned Facebook from a place that , despite its red - hot hype , fail to bring down the top talent into one that regularly poaches from place like Yahoo , Google and LinkedIn .
Now , Chris is back on the product side of the company , oversee the intersection manager squad , the user - experience squad , and the design team as VP of Product .
Chris ’s ability to innovate Facebook products and lead its people does not go unvalued at the startup .
“ I ca n’t emphasize how much he represents and embodies what this company stand for , ” say Facebook spokesboss Brandee Barker .
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg tells us , “ Chris has a ton of energy for mathematical product , engine room , and people , and he motivates everyone here at Facebook to work considerably , think smarter , and quest after the ideas they are passionate about . ”
