As per Q's post.
Building 8 was initially by run ex DARPA Director Regina Dugan. From wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regina_E._Dugan
As Director she advanced strategic initiatives in the fields of cyber security, social media, and advanced manufacturing
She had a conflict of interest when her previous firm RedXDefense. Which has won some $6 million in contracts with the agency, $4.3 million of which was awarded prior to her position as Director. Guess who was running RedXDefense at the time, her father - Vince Duggen.

She left in 2012, under pressure from this I assume, to join Google as Vice President of Engineering, Advanced Technology and Projects.
Nowadays Building 8 is head by Andrew Bosworth. A harvard graduate and longtime VP of Facebook. He wrote this in 2016 btw:
“Maybe it costs a life by exposing someone to bullies, Maybe someone dies in a terrorist attack coordinated on our tools. And still we connect people. The ugly truth is that we believe in connecting people so deeply that anything that allows us to connect more people more often is de facto good" "We connect people. Period. That’s why all the work we do in growth is justified. All the questionable contact importing practices. All the subtle language that helps people stay searchable by friends. All of the work we do to bring more communication in. The work we will likely have to do in China some day. All of it."
Which just got released the other day, interesting when paired with Q's posts:
Facebook. Building 8. China. Q
