A spokesman declined to say why Binet was leaving, citing a meta policy of not commenting on personal matters.

The Wall Street Journal first announced Binet’s departure on Friday.

Bennett was appointed Vice President of Global Communications in April 2019, according to the company’s website.

Prior to joining the company, Bennett headed communications for Bill Gates’s private office and innovation lab, Gates Ventures, and was Google’s Asia Pacific communications head. He has held several product and corporate communications leadership positions at Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O).
