Meta’s Sheryl Sandberg to exit board after 12 years

The Hindu  

Meta’s former chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, announced that she is leaving the company’s board after more than a decade. One of the most influential women in Silicon Valley, Sandberg, 54, will depart the board as the tech juggernaut behind Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram faces increased regulatory scrutiny. “With a heart filled with gratitude and a mind filled with memories, I let the Meta board know that I will not stand for reelection this May,” Sandberg posted on Facebook. “Serving as Facebook’s - and then Meta’s - COO for 14½ years and a board member for 12 years has been the opportunity of a lifetime,” she wrote. Facebook was about four years old in 2008 when Sandberg came on board as a mature, guiding hand at a tech firm with the motto “move fast and break things.” Her job made her not only a recognizable face in tech but also a household name, particularly thanks to her 2013 book “Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead.” The best seller encouraged women to “lean in” to their careers to reach their full potential and overcome workforce obstacles.
