is Antonio García Martínez. He joined Facebook's nascent advertising team, turning its users' data into profit for COO Sheryl Sandberg and CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Forced out in the wake of an internal product war over the future of the company's monetization strategy, García got a job at rival Twitter. He also fathered two children with a woman he barely knew, committed lewd acts and brewed beer on the Facebook campus, lived on a sailboat, raced sport cars on the 101, and enthusiastically pursued the life of an overpaid
