Matt Cohler, a pivotal player in Facebook Inc.'s rapid growth, is departing the popular online hangout to find other promising Internet startups for a prominent venture capital firm.
Cohler will remain Facebook's vice president of product management through the summer and then become a general partner at Benchmark Capital, according to a Thursday announcement.
Even after joining Benchmark, Cohler will remain a "special adviser" to Facebook's 24-year-old founder and chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg.
