Facebook Loses Long-Time Exec To Benchmark Capital

Dan Frommer | June 19, 2008 2:48 PM

matt-cohler.jpgA high-profile loss for Facebook: Matt Cohler, VP of product management, is leaving the company to join Benchmark Capital as partner, WSJ reports. Cohler was one of Mark Zuckerberg's first five employees and a "key lieutenant." (His departure isn't too surprising; we bet Cohler owns a significant stake in Facebook that's mostly vested by now.)

When he joins Benchmark this fall, he'll continue to act as an advisor to Facebook, the Journal reports. Before working at Facebook, Cohler was a founding employee at LinkedIn.

maybe people are figuring out that they're going nowhere fast right now...bringing in a lot of talent that no one else wants and the "old timers" are leaving. does seem odd.

As a product fella, I'd argue that the VP of Product job at Facebook might be the most-coveted in the industry. To have someone leave it, during its infancy, is curious.

Being a product person at an overstaffed company, or a company not intent on releasing new products is no fun, and usually not lucrative. It's probably more enjoyable to help others get their product off the ground.

This is just adding to the theory that Facebook is really quite a worthless company and the smart people figure that out and leave.
