Facebook Inc is losing another long-tenured founder from an acquired company: Brendan Iribe, who was the chief executive officer of Oculus VR when Facebook bought it in 2014. 

“This will be the first real break I’ve taken in over 20 years,” Iribe wrote on his Facebook page, without giving a specific reason for his departure. “It’s time to recharge, reflect and be creative.”
