Really? What was her operational expertise?
- ksec 5y agoSorry I wasn't clear. COO not in terms of traditional Operation and company structure. But in terms of startup /company hierarchy, as the 2nd person in charge like Tim Cook in Apple and Sheryl Sandberg in Facebook. To Quote Sheryl >“He basically explained nicely that my job was to do the things that Mark (Zuckerberg) did not want to focus on as much,” Sandberg said of the 2007 meeting that lasted several hours with the chief operating officer of Apple Inc. “That was his job with Steve (Jobs). And he explained that the job would change over time and I should be prepared for that.” Marissa shares many similar traits as Tim Cook. Although she seems to be extremely ambitious which might limit the number of CEO she is willing to serve.
