Meta’s co-founder says being a CEO for 13 years was exhausting: I 'put on this face day after day'

Meta’s co-founder Dustin Moskovitz opened up about the pains of leadership and admitted that 13 years of being a CEO was “exhausting.”

Moskovitz, one of the original founders of Meta, formerly Facebook, co-founded the social platform in 2004 alongside Mark Zuckerberg, Eduardo Saverin, Chris Hughes, and Andrew McCollum.

After leaving Facebook in 2008, he retained a stake of just over 8%, making him a billionaire with a net worth of $12 billion, according to the most recent data from Forbes. He went on to become a co-founder and CEO of work management software platform Asana the same year.

Moskovitz announced his departure as Asana’s CEO earlier this year and has transitioned into the role of chairman, while retaining an ownership of 53% of the company’s outstanding shares between Class A and Class B holdings.

The billionaire recently opened up about what it was like to be a CEO at Asana, while also having an introverted personality, on an episode of the Stratechery podcast by Ben Thompson, released on Monday.
