Good morning, Broadsheet readers! The formula shortage is still ongoing, Black mothers and babies are at greater risk during childbirth regardless of their socioeconomic status, and Marne Levine is stepping down as Meta's chief business officer. Have a happy Valentine's Day!
- Leaving her post. Marne Levine joined Facebook 13 years ago as VP of global policy after she was recruited to the then-startup by her former U.S. Treasury Department colleague, Sheryl Sandberg. Levine rose through the ranks alongside Sandberg, serving as COO of Instagram and, most recently, as chief business officer for Meta.
But Levine will leave her role this month and depart Meta this summer, she announced yesterday, eight months after Sandberg's own exit announcement. "Meta has and will continue to be a core part of my identity and I will be forever grateful for this place, for the work we have done together, and for the people—past and present—in it," Levine wrote in a Facebook post.
