Facebook Inc. executive Carolyn Everson, who helped oversee the social network’s relationship with advertisers during politically fraught times, said she’s leaving after more than 10 years.

Everson, who was vice president of global marketing solutions, helped shepherd Facebook’s digital advertising surge over the past year and a half as more businesses turned to the internet to reach their customers. She also manged relationships with advertisers when the company was facing a boycott in summer 2020 from hundreds of brands protesting the proliferation of hate speech on its platform.
