- mapgrep 10y agoThat is an excellent counterexample. She seems to have been instrumental at Facebook in building up revenue and transitioning to mobile.

She is a driving force behind Mark Zuckerberg's success. Of all the folks mentioned, I put Sheryl in the rare breed category who has very high emotional intelligence.

He was Uber's original CEO, but was replaced in December 2010 by Travis Kalanick[0]. At that point, Uber's success was by no means ensured, but Graves stuck with it, and now he's a billionaire anyway[1]. 0: https://techcrunch.com/2010/12/22/uber-ceo-super-pumped-about-being-replaced-by-founder/ https://techcrunch.com/2010/12/22/uber-ceo-super-pumped-abou... 1: http://www.forbes.com/sites/ellenhuet/2015/03/02/uber-billionaires-garrett-camp-ryan-graves http://www.forbes.com/sites/ellenhuet/2015/03/02/uber-billio...
