In a corporate America still dominated by men, business leader, activist, author and philanthropist Sheryl Sandberg is an inspirational figure and a powerful role model to women and girls who want to make their mark in the world — and do it on their own terms.
After serving as a vice president at Google for six years, Sandberg became the chief operating officer of Facebook in 2008. She was the brains behind the social media giant’s shift towards profitability in 2010 and was the first woman to be elected to the company’s board of directors in 2012. A former chief of staff in the Bill Clinton White House and outspoken advocate for women’s rights, Sandberg today also sits on the boards of the Walt Disney Corporation, Women for Women International, the Center for Global Development, and V-Day, a global movement to end violence against women and girls. She is the author of the bestselling Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead, and the founder of Leanin.org, a charitable organization devoted to empowering women to achieve their ambitions.
Today worth an estimated $1.57 billion, Sandberg is one of America’s most influential executives, and was named by Time magazine in 2012 as one of the 100 most influential people in the world. Sheryl Sandberg knows a thing or two about achieving your potential.
“You are not born with a fixed amount of resilience. Like a muscle, you can build it up, draw on it when you need it. In that process, you will figure out who you really are — and you just might become the very best version of yourself.”- Sheryl Sandberg
