(CNN Business) —
Amid yet another scandal, Facebook is facing calls from investors and critics to shake up its leadership.
But in an exclusive interview on Tuesday, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said he intends to stay on as chairman and that his No. 2, Sheryl Sandberg, isn’t going anywhere either.
“Sheryl is a really important part of this company and is leading a lot of the efforts to address a lot of the biggest issues that we have,” Zuckerberg told CNN Business’ Laurie Segall. “She’s been an important partner for me for 10 years. … I hope that we work together for decades more to come.”
Asked if he would step down from the chairman role, Zuckerberg said, “that’s not the plan.”
