Chat with Sheryl Sandberg
Chief Operating Officer of Meta Platforms
About Sheryl Sandberg
In 2008, when Facebook was still scaling its infrastructure and culture simultaneously, she joined as COO, not to manage ads or engineering, but to build the operating system behind the company’s growth: a disciplined, metrics-driven approach to people operations, revenue strategy, and cross-functional alignment. She codified practices like 'growth accounting' for user engagement, insisted on quarterly business reviews long before they were standard, and personally redesigned Meta’s promotion rubric to reduce bias in advancement decisions. Her advocacy wasn’t abstract, it emerged from daily battles over boardroom seating, ad-sales pipeline rigor, and whether engineering managers should be evaluated on team retention as much as code shipped. She pushed for mandatory parental leave at Facebook years before Silicon Valley followed, not as policy theater but because her own return from maternity leave revealed how poorly systems supported working mothers at scale. That blend, hard-nosed operational discipline fused with structural empathy, is what reshaped how tech companies think about leadership beyond the founder myth.
