Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg privately recommended staff hires to Pete Buttigieg: Report
. On Wednesday, Zuckerberg is expected to testify to House lawmakers about Facebook's impact on the financial services and housing sectors.
According to Bloomberg, two of the individuals recommended by Zuckerberg and his wife are now on staff. Both of their roles appear to include working with technology. Eric Mayefsky works as senior digital analytics advisor, and Nina Wornhoff serves as organizing data manager, the outlet wrote. "Since the beginning of the campaign, we've built a top-tier operation with more than 430 staff in South Bend and around the country," campaign spokesperson Chris Meagher told Bloomberg. "The staffers come from all types of background, and everyone is working hard every day to elect Pete to the White House."
His connections to Zuckerberg stretch back to his college years: Buttigieg attended Harvard University at the same time that Zuckerberg was building what would become Facebook from his dorm room. Buttigieg ultimately became the 287th user of the platform. The two met years later when introduced by a mutual friend, according to Bloomberg.
