Facebook lobbyist Tim Sparapani departs

"Tim Sparapani decided to transition out of the company last month. He has made a lasting impact by helping build our DC team and policy portfolio," said Facebook spokesman Andrew Noyes. "We are sad to see him go, but we appreciate Tim's desire to pursue new opportunities and we wish him well."

Facebook recently added former Obama White House aide Louisa Terrell as director of public policy. Facebook vice president for U.S. public policy Joel Kaplan and public policy manager Myriah Jordan, both from the George W. Bush White House, will help manage Facebook's Congressional relations going forward.
