Sheryl Sandberg, the COO of Facebook, has joined the board of directors of Starbucks, her first public company board position.
Sandberg, who’s generally shy of press (she’s done just one video interview since she joined Facebook a year ago), is going to be getting a lot of credit in the future for driving revenue growth at Facebook. Prior to Facebook she was the VP Online Operations and Sales at Google and one of their first 300 employees. She was also previously with McKinsey & Company, the Chief of Staff for the United States Treasury Department under President Bill Clinton, and an economist with the World Bank where she worked on eradicating leprosy in India. And she’s not yet 40.
The Starbucks job comes with a $280,000 annual salary. But, absurdly, the job doesn’t get her free coffee.
MA – they’re should be spelled their.
damnit, I always do that. thx.
Yeah baby !
Good choice for a company now in need of growth and operational efficiency.
That does it. I need some Starbucks coffee right now.
“But, absurdly, the job doesn’t get her free coffee.”
Right. Starbucks should go to an ad-sponsored model where everyone gets coffee for free, eh?
huh?
I think he was making a jab at Facebook’s cash-burning ad-supported model :p
LOL. No. She’s on the board – board members usually get the product free.
She can afford to buy a cup of coffee a day, eh ?
Good for her. I hope she can balance the roles. Facebook and Starbucks both need a lot of love right now.
i didnt know being on the board of director was so profitable
Is she single?
Seriously though, this is a super achiever who deserves her success. Congrats.
Given Starbucks’ brave new world of becoming a “non-profit”, it’s time to turn to the experts.
lol.
Plus Sheryl banked more than $500m from her Google shares so she can buy her own coffee
what an odd photo
$280,000 dollars is great salary.. Wished i am like her.
In Starbucks Ayala (Cebu, Philippines), my friend’s coffee got a screw inside her cup. Every time she takes a sip, she hears an unusual sound.
When she removed the cover, there was a screw inside!
We informed the management about it. The management did not care. They did not even bothered to replace the coffee, nor an apology.
screw them
