Sheryl Sandberg Activist, COO, A Woman Of Honor

By Donna Nelson


When it comes to women in the marketplace, few have rivaled positions of men in the corporate world. However, Sheryl Sandberg is one of those women. For, not only is the woman the first to sit on the board at Facebook, Time magazine has recently honored the business woman as one of the top ten women of the world.

Ms. Sandberg started this journey when born on August 28, 1969 in Washington, D. C. Later, making a home in Menlo Park, California, United States of America. Then, upon graduating high school, she became a proud graduate of Harvard University with a Business and Masters in Business Administration.

Ms. Sandberg, a proud Democrat now faces challenges in both business and politics. While Chief Operating Officer and board member at Facebook, Sheryl also sits on the board of several other corporations and organizations. As such, there are many goals which remain challenging for the young businesswoman.

Other boards which Ms. Sandberg sits on include SurveyMonkey, V-Day, Center for Global Development, Women for Women International and the Walt Disney Company. It is clear by the diverse nature of these corporations and organizations that the woman has a great regard for business as well as changing the world through a presence on these and other board and committees.

In life, the business woman is known as an active I. T. Executive, activist, feminist and author. In addition, Ms. Sandberg is the first woman to sit on the Board of Directors at Facebook. Before joining Facebook, the business woman assisted in online operations and sales at Google while also launching the technology giant's philanthropic aspects. In politics, the activist first served as Chief of Staff for United States Secretary Lawrence Summers.

In 2012, Time Magazine honored Sheryl as being one of the 100 most influential people in the world. An accomplishment, not many men or women have achieved over the years. As a Jewish woman, and the daughter of a College Professor and Ophthalmologist, it was an honor the woman never took lightly. Although, as a straight A student in the Florida school system, it appeared the rise to greatness started at a rather early age.

During early education, Sheryl became sophomore class president as well as a member of the student committee. The young student also taught aerobics at a local gym while still in high school. After which, the college student graduated with honors from Harvard University after having co-founded an organization related to economics and women and having received a number of awards in different areas of study.

It was in 2007 when Sheryl met Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder and CEO of Facebook. The two met at a holiday party held by Dan Rosenwieg. While having no current role open for a Chief Operating Officer, Mark knew the young business woman would make a great one. As a result, Facebook opened up the position and hired the up and coming executive.

Ultimately, the businesswoman will continue to face challenges related to business, government and politics. While this is the case, it is clear the woman has the knowledge and power to meet such challenges head on. As a result, whether a business or political challenge should arise, there is no doubt Ms. Sandberg can overcome the challenge in a professional manner with dignity and respect for all involved.
