Dan Rose

VP of Partnerships, Facebook

Facebook has a billion users, and Dan Rose is in charge of connecting all those people with outsiders who want to reach them: That’s a wide-ranging group that includes everyone from gaming companies to publishers to mobile networks. Facebook’s “Read. Watch. Listen.” plan for “frictionless sharing” is a road map for interactions with media companies, and it’s Rose’s job to steer the social networking giant. Rose joined Facebook in 2006 after seven years at Amazon.com, where his jobs included launching the Amazon Kindle.
