Facebook Kicks Off a Metaverse Reorganization

Mark Zuckerberg wasn’t kidding when he said last week he hopes Facebook will morph from a social media giant into a metaverse company. As the company revealed Monday, his ambition is beginning to have real effects on Facebook’s org chart.

As reported, Facebook is creating a new Metaverse product group under Facebook Reality Labs. Andrew Bosworth’s, VP of FRL and the overseer of this new group, gave the metaverse a definition that’s a bit high-concept: “a collection of digital worlds each with its own physics to determine what’s possible within them.” The new product group intends to focus on building the “connective tissue” needed to make the metaverse work.
