Sheryl Sandberg Will Become COO of Facebook
Posted Mar 04, 2008 12:31pm EST by Kara Swisher in Internet, Newsmakers
From AllThingsD, March 4, 2008:
Facebook will announce that it will hire top Google executive Sheryl Sandberg as COO this afternoon, in a major hire that is sure to shake up the company and also deliver a blow to rival Google.
At Google, Sandberg is the vice president, Global Online Sales & Operations, a major post in which she runs a large swath of the search giant’s ad operations.
Sandberg is responsible for online sales of Google’s ad and publishing products, bringing experience Facebook sorely needs. She is also politically savvy, having been the chief of staff at the Treasury Department in the Clinton administration.
Sandberg, who is married to former Yahoo music head David Goldberg and has two small children, also becomes Facebook’s first major executive hire who is a woman.
It is not clear what other execs she will oversee, but more to come on this important story later today.

Posted already at GSPWest08. Goog will be fine without her...they have a talent pool to place a COO that will bring the stock up a few points.

You guys aren't very good at reading comprehension. She is not Google's COO, and Google will be fine.

Another over-hyped company (FB) to be ran by another overrated executive. Jeez, these people are so greedy!
