Sheryl+Sandberg



** Sheryl Sandberg ** Sheryl Sandberg was born in 1969 in Washington, D.C. She attended public school and was always the smartest in her class. She enrolled in Harvard College in 1991. She graduated with an A.B in Economics and was awarded the John H. Williams Prize for the top graduating student in economics. In 1993, she enrolled at Harvard Business School and in 1995 she earned her M.B.A with highest distiction. Mark Zuckerberg knew he needed help when his network was growing rapidly at the age of 23. He met Sheryl at a Christmas party at the house of Dan Rosenweig, a Silicon Valley executive. Before Facebook, Sheryl worked for Google. She joined Facebook in 2008. Today she manages Facebook’s sales, marketing, business development, human resources, public policy and communications. It’s a massive job, but one well suited to Sandberg, who not only built and managed Google’s successful online sales and operations program but also served as an economist for the World Bank and Chief of Staff at the US Treasury Department. Prior to Facebook, Sandberg met with Eric Schmidt, who was then the C.E.O. of Google, about her desire to do something at the company. He proposed promoting her to chief financial officer, a job she rejected because she didn’t think it gave her enough management responsibility. She asked about becoming the chief operating officer, but Google already had Schmidt and the two founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin and they didn’t want to further complicate things. By February of 2008, Zuckerberg had concluded that Sandberg would be a perfect fit for Facebook and she has been there ever since. Sheryl Sandberg is a confident woman. She gave a speech about working woman. People told her not to give the speech, but she though if she wouldn’t, who would? At Facebook only 15 out of the 500 workers are female. She thinks we have too few woman leaders. So what made her successful is that she was confident in herself and she was a very smart woman. She followed role models that were woman and she wanted to be like them and she’s always loved her job. Works Cited:
