Re/code reports that Sriram Krishnan, the Facebook executive who’s been running the company’s ad network, is headed to Snapchat. Krishnan joined Facebook in 2013 and helped launch the ad network, called Audience Network, in early 2014 so that Facebook could sell display and video ad space inside apps it doesn’t own. Krishnan announced that he was leaving Facebook last week in an email, according to sources. Krishnan apparently will be part of the company’s growth and revenue team.
