Nicole Appleton spent much of her career serenading adoring fans with her three fellow band members. Stephen Haines, on the other hand, worked in tech. According to his LinkedIn account, Haines was the director of global agency development for Meta (formerly Facebook). Haines started this role in March 2020. However, Haines started working for Meta 15 years ago. His first role with the social media company kicked off in December 2007 when he joined as the UK commercial director. Over the past decade and a half, Haines received two promotions.

In September, Haines announced in a LinkedIn blog post that he was preparing to leave Meta. “After nearly 16 years I want to share the news that I have decided to leave Facebook/Meta towards the end of October this year!” wrote Haines. “I joined a company that changed my life forever and undoubtedly changed the way we connect as humans too. When I started, we had less than 50 million users, mostly in the US, an English only platform, local competitors in every market in the world, and an evolving business model.” Haines also thanked several of his co-workers and bosses — including Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg. Toward the tail end of his update, Haines let slip that he’s kind of playing it by ear with what’s next. But one thing’s for sure — he’s ready to kick back and soak up some quality time with the family.
