According to an official Oculus blog post, Sweet will “be focused on building an ecosystem that rewards developers for creating and delivering the world’s best VR experiences.”

In a statement, Sweet expressed how the very first time she put on a VR headset she knew that she wanted to work in virtual reality.

“The ways in which VR can impact our lives is boundless, and I’m extremely excited to work with the world class team at Oculus to build the VR platforms and experiences that will shape the future of technology,” Sweet said. “I look forward to helping support and enable partners and developers across many industries to be a part of that.”
