Palo Alto, Calif. -- Facebook, the Palo Alto-based online social network with more than 200 million members, has named David Ebersman as its new CFO, three months after Gideon Yu stepped down from the role. Ebersman most recently served as the CFO at South San Francisco-based Genentech from 2006 through March of this year 2009, when the company was sold to Swiss pharmaceutical giant Roche for $46.8 billion. "[Ebersman] was Genentech's CFO while revenue tripled, and his success in scaling the finance organization of a fast growing company will be important to Facebook," said Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
