This alliterate executive who is no longer an executive of the company with the ridiculous name change, which was also ridiculous when a NBA player did it first, has been promised the 1/100th seat  should the current occupant die or retire.

That would give her the easiest path to election in 2024 too.

Sheryl Sandberg

Facebook, Meta

NBA player: Ron Artest aka Metta World Peace aka Metta Sandiford-Artest

Seat: United States Senator for California

Current occupant: Dianne Feinstein

Top executive Sheryl Sandberg is leaving Facebook

Facebook chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg said she would leave the social media service after 14 years, marking the departure of one of the most high-profile female executives in the U.S. at a time of tumult for the company.

Sandberg, 52, helped build the world’s most profitable social network alongside Mark Zuckerberg, who she met when the CEO was just 23 and still struggling to turn his viral site into an actual business. She is also one of the wealthiest self-made female billionaires in the world, who charted her own course as a champion of women’s empowerment while writing two best-selling books — one on women in the workplace and the other on grieving for her late husband. She is also a large Democratic donor.

But Sandberg’s tenure at Facebook was marked by repeated political controversies that tarnished her brand even as she tried to distance herself from them. That includes Russian operatives sowing disinformation on the service during the 2016 election, as well as the 2018 scandal involving Cambridge Analytica, a Trump-affiliated consultancy that siphoned data from millions of Facebook users inappropriately. Sandberg, who ran the company’s policy division during these incidents, also publicly downplayed Facebook’s role in the Jan. 6 insurrection — a stance that was viewed as a mistake after reports revealed that extensive organizing for the Capitol riots took place on Facebook’s services.

“I am not entirely sure what the future will bring — I have learned no one ever is,” Sandberg wrote on the social media site. “But I know it will include focusing more on my foundation and philanthropic work, which is more important to me than ever given how critical this moment is for women.”

In an interview with The Washington Post, Sandberg said she told Zuckerberg she would be stepping down over the weekend.

“Look, it’s a hard job. I’m not going to claim any differently,” she said. “But it really was about finding some space and time in my life like do more for women and do more with my foundation.” – Source
