SAN FRANCISCO — Facebook said on Thursday that Chris Cox, a former top executive, was returning to the company as chief product officer. Mr. Cox had left the social network in March 2019 over disagreements with Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s chief executive. In coming back as chief product officer, Mr. Cox, 37, who was previously at the company for more than a decade, will again become one of the highest-ranking executives at Facebook. “Facebook and our products have never been more relevant to our future,” Mr. Cox said in a statement to his Facebook page announcing his return. Facebook has also been under strain as the coronavirus pandemic has thrown its work force into overdrive to keep the site online as people flock to its services.
