She worked for Summers for two years and then enrolled at Harvard Business School, attaining her M.B.A. She also founded an organization called Women in Economics and Government, which, she says, was created “to get more women to major in government and economics.”Īfter graduating summa cum laude in 1991, Sandberg became a research assistant for Summers, now the World Bank’s chief economist. Her study of economics often came through a feminist lens, as she focused on the role that economic inequality plays in spousal abuse. Sandberg went on to major in economics at Harvard, where she had the esteemed Lawrence Summers as a thesis adviser. She was in the National Honor Society at North Miami Beach Senior High School, and graduated ninth in her class in 1987, with a 4.6 GPA. Sheryl Sandberg was born on August 28, 1969, in Washington, D.C., and moved with her family to North Miami Beach, Florida, when she was two years old. In 2013, she published the best-selling Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead. Following a successful stint as VP of online sales and operations at Google, Sandberg has served as COO of Facebook since 2008. She is a trailblazing model for the ideas she so passionately espouses, and she's on the pulse of a topic that has never been more relevant.Born in 1969 in Washington, D.C., Sheryl Sandberg attended Harvard as an undergrad and for business school, her early career taking her to the World Bank and then the U.S. Her message to women is overwhelmingly positive. Sandberg has an uncanny gift for cutting through layers of ambiguity that surround working women, and in Lean In she grapples, piercingly, with the great questions of modern life.
In Lean In, she fuses humorous personal anecdotes, singular lessons on confidence and leadership, and practical advice for women based on research, data, her own experiences, and the experiences of other women of all ages. The talk became a phenomenon and has since been viewed nearly two million times. Lean In-Sheryl Sandberg's provocative, inspiring book about women and power-grew out of an electrifying TED talk Sandberg gave in 2010, in which she expressed her concern that progress for women in achieving major leadership positions had stalled.
In her Lean In, she urges women to take risks and seek new challenges, to find work that they love, and to remain passionately engaged with it at the highest levels throughout their lives. Sheryl Sandberg-Facebook COO, ranked eighth on Fortune's list of the 50 Most Powerful Women in Business-has become one of America's most galvanizing leaders, and an icon for millions of women juggling work and family.
