Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg already has one of the shinier resumes in Silicon Valley as a Harvard grad with stints at the World Bank, the U.S. Treasury Department and Google, as well as a seat on the board of coffee kingpin Starbucks. She was also named one of Fortune magazine’s 50 Most Powerful Women this year, clocking in at No. 22. Now Sandberg has been nominated to be a director on the Disney board, a position that will get rubberstamped at the entertainment giant’s annual meeting in March.
