Andrew “Boz” Bosworth (Facebook)
Andrew Bosworth
He’s one of the most important developers at Facebook and probably the coolest MoFo in all of Silicon Valley. Andrew “Boz” Bosworth was once the teaching assistant to Mark Zuckerberg at Harvard. Now the roles may have changed slightly, Boz is now dedicated to his area of specialization—Artificial Intelligence. At Facebook, Boz spearheaded implementation of Facebook’s hallmark features, including News Feed, Timeline, Messaging and Profile. His biggest accomplishment, however is inventing “Targeted Ads” in News Feed To create it, Mark Zuckerberg asked Boz to postpone his sabbatical year. Recognizing the importance of developing a mobile product, Boz agreed. The rest is history. We hope Boz finds some R&R in Hamburg—once he’s done speaking, of course. Nowadays, Boz is the VP Engineering, Ads and Pages at Facebook.
Internet master extraordinaire
