Ruchi Sanghvi - the first female engineering at Facebook and more recently the vice president of operations at Dropbox - is leaving the successful file-sharing startup, just months helping to transform the company's web service into a platform that can support a sprawling ecosystem of third-party applications.
The news was first reported by the tech news site AllTHingsD. 'I've been working at breakneck pace and feel like I need to take some time off,' she told the site, before adding that she did not yet have plans to join other business projects.
Dropbox did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
At Facebook, Sanghvi helped create the ubiquitous Facebook News Feed and oversaw the development of the Facebook Platform, a collection of tools that let third-party developers build applications that run atop the social networking site or plug into the site in some way. As vice president of operations at Dropbox, she helped build a similar platform for the company's popular file-sharing service, working alongside her husband, Aditya Agarwa, who oversees engineering and design at the company.
Sanghvi joined Dropbox when the company acquired Cove, a startup she founded with Agarwa with an eye on building collaboration software.
