Facebook Wants To Explore Blockchain Technology.

[Mackin USA]

ENTER David Marcus, the Facebook executive who has, until this week, been running the company's standalone messaging app, Messenger.

As the former president of PayPal, Marcus has a lot of payments expertise and has been in charge of Messenger through a lot of significant changes over the years. In fact, Facebook's decision to split Messenger out of the core app so that users had to download the standalone app in order to receive messages on mobile happened during Marcus's first month on the job. He oversaw Messenger's push into customer service bots, shopping and, more recently, advertising. His departure from that role is notable, especially since Messenger is just starting to ramp up its advertising business.
