Sheryl Sandberg Biography

Sheryl Sandberg is a business executive, billionaire, bestselling author, and philanthropist. She is the founder of Lean In, an organization that helps women achieve their ambitions and helps companies build inclusive workplaces where women of all identities are supported and empowered. She is also the board chair of Sandberg Goldberg Bernthal Family Foundation, and is the founder of Sandberg Goldberg Venture Partners.

Sandberg previously served as chief operating officer (COO) of Meta Platforms, and the former COO at Facebook, becoming the company's second-highest ranking official. In June 2012, she was elected to Facebook's board of directors, becoming the first woman to serve on its board. As head of the company's advertising business, Sandberg was credited for making the company profitable.

In 2012, she was named in the Time 100, an annual list of the most influential people in the world. On Forbes Magazine's 2021 billionaires list, Sandberg is reported to have a net worth of US$1.7 billion, due to her stock holdings in Facebook and in other companies. In 2022, she announced she would be stepping down as Meta COO in the fall but that she would remain on its board.

In 2013, she released the book "Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead," in which she examines why women's progress in achieving leadership roles has stalled, explains the root causes, and offers compelling, commonsense solutions that can empower women to achieve their full potential.

Prior to Facebook, Sandberg was Vice President of Global Online Sales and Operations at Google, where she built and managed the online sales channels for advertising and publishing and operations for consumer products worldwide. She was also instrumental in launching Google.org, Googles philanthropic arm.

Before Google, Sandberg served as Chief of Staff for the United States Treasury Department under President Bill Clinton where she helped lead the Treasurys work on forgiving debt in the developing world. Earlier, she was a management consultant with McKinsey & Company and an economist with the World Bank.

Sandberg received a B.A. summa cum laude in Economics from Harvard University and was awarded the John H. Williams Prize for the top graduating student in economics. She received an MBA with highest distinction from the Harvard Business School. Sandberg serves on the boards of The Walt Disney Company, Starbucks, Women for Women International, the Center for Global Development and V-Day. Sandberg was named as one of the 50 Most Powerful Women in Business by Fortune and one of the 50 Women to Watch by The Wall Street Journal.
