Meet Facebook's new chief marketer: HP's Antonio Lucio
Briefly

""I am thrilled to announce today that we have hired Antonio Lucio to be our new chief marketing officer. Sheryl, Gary (Briggs), and I have worked hard on finding the best person for this role, and we're excited to say that we've found him. "Antonio will join us from HP, where he led their marketing team for three years. Before that he was the CMO at Visa and at PepsiCo.""
"Lucio spent over three years as the computer manufacturer's chief marketer. Among his most noted impacts on the company: raising the company's valuation over 50%, re-framing the company's message after HP split into separate B2B and B2C operations, and taking a proactive approach to drive agency partners (and other companies) to take up diversity and inclusion pledges. He also drove the diversity push for the tech company, with a noted campaign that highlighted HP's internal diversity pledge."
