Facebook Inc. is promoting one of its longest-tenured product and data executives to take over as chief marketing officer, bringing together its user growth and marketing efforts under one person.

Alex Schultz, who has worked at Facebook since 2007 and has been one of the company’s key growth and analytics executives, is taking the CMO job that opened when Antonio Lucio departed last month. Schultz will continue to work on data crunching in addition to the new role.
