On Sheryl Sandberg

17 05 2008

I was reading a post from Fake Steve outlining how new facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg is getting rid of the early employees. It begs the question of where Mark Zuckerberg fits in, FSJ speculates:

Smart money says he gets pushed into some kind of “visionary” role so that the new team of Valley veterans, installed by Facebook’s investors, can finally complete their takeover of the company.

After I read this I looked up Sandberg, what struck me was that she was overqualified to be a COO. In fact at 38 the only post someone who was Chief of Staff to the Secretary of the Treasury before they hit 30 would be interested in is CEO. It doesn’t make any sense that someone of that calibre would leave Google for anything else.
