			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/files/2009/12/sheryl_sandberg.jpg"><img src="http://kara.allthingsd.com/files/2009/12/sheryl_sandberg-250x145.jpg" alt="sheryl_sandberg" title="sheryl_sandberg" width="250" height="145" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-22417" /></a></p>
<p>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 (GOOG), as well as a seat on the board of coffee kingpin Starbucks (SBUX).</p>
<p>She was also named one of <a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20090911/yahoos-bartz-8-facebooks-sandberg-22-googles-mayer-22-and-more-techies-makes-fortunes-50-most-powerful-women-list">Fortune magazine&#8217;s 50 Most Powerful Women</a> this year, clocking in at No. 22.</p>
<p>Now Sandberg has been nominated to be a director on the Walt Disney Company (DIS) board, a position that will get rubberstamped at the entertainment giant&#8217;s annual meeting in March.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s an obvious pick for Disney, which needs to inject both Internet and social networking experience into the media giant, especially as it is one of the few such companies with such an iconic and personal relationship with its customers.</p>
<p>Mom and Dad must be so proud&#8211;not to mention the kids, since I am guessing that Disney board members get free passes to the front of the line at Space Mountain.</p>
<p>Thus, BoomTown has commissioned a survey from SurveyMonkey, where Sandberg&#8217;s husband, <a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20090817/surveymonkeys-dave-goldberg-speaks-plus-a-tour-of-his-new-planet-of-the-apes-lair-in-silicon-valley">Dave Goldberg, is CEO</a>, about exactly how I can get on the board of Facebook so I can query her on how to fatten up <em>my</em> resume.</p>
<p>To see her in action, here are two videos of interview highlights from Sandberg&#8217;s appearance at the sixth <strong>D: All Things Digital</strong> conference in 2008, with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckberberg.</p>

<p>And here is the Disney press release:</p>
<blockquote class="memo"><p><strong>Sheryl Sandberg Nominated to The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors</strong></p>
<p>The Walt Disney Company (DIS) Board of Directors has nominated Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer of Facebook Inc., to be a new independent director, effective upon her election at the Company&#8217;s next annual meeting.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sheryl is an outstanding executive who can add incredible value to what is already a diverse and highly experienced group of directors,&#8221; said John E. Pepper Jr., Disney&#8217;s chairman. &#8220;She brings great expertise in the online world, considerable international experience and a deep understanding of consumer behavior.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sandberg has served as COO of Facebook, an online social utility company, since March 2008. In that capacity, she has been responsible for building Facebook&#8217;s operations globally and managing its sales, marketing, business development, human resources, public policy, privacy and communications functions. Facebook is now considered the number one global social network with more than 350 million members.</p>
<p>Prior to joining Facebook, Sandberg was Vice President of Global Online Sales and Operations for Google Inc., an Internet search engine company, a post she assumed in 2001. In that role, she built and managed Google&#8217;s online sales channels, which represents the majority of Google&#8217;s customers worldwide, for both AdWords and AdSense.</p>
<p>Sandberg, 40, is also a former Chief of Staff of the United States Treasury Department and previously served as a management consultant with McKinsey &#038; Company and as an economist with The World Bank.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sheryl has been at the forefront of a technological revolution that&#8217;s opened up a world of new possibilities for consumers and which has greatly affected the way we do business,&#8221; said Robert A. Iger, Disney&#8217;s President and Chief Executive Officer. &#8220;Her unique insight, born of great practical experience, will be of considerable value to Disney’s shareholders.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Disney has remained an entertainment icon around the world for over 80 years by enthusiastically embracing change and new technologies,&#8221; said Sandberg. &#8220;It&#8217;s a tremendous honor to be nominated to the Disney board.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sandberg is also a director of Starbucks Corp. and serves on a number of nonprofit boards including The Brookings Institution, The AdCouncil, Women for Women International and V-Day. She received a Master&#8217;s Degree in business administration from Harvard Business School and a Bachelor’s Degree in economics from Harvard University.</p>
<p>Disney shareholders will vote on Sandberg&#8217;s nomination and the re-election of the Company’s other 12 directors at the next Disney annual meeting, March 10, 2010 in San Antonio, Texas.</p></blockquote>

<p>Fortune magazine&#8211;which never met a list it did not like to make&#8211;had a solid group of women tech types on its <a href="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/mostpowerfulwomen/2009/full_list/">&#8220;50 Most Powerful Women 2009&#8221;</a> roster, the annual survey it posted yesterday.</p>
<p>Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz made the Top Ten this year, clocking in at No. 8.</p>
<p>Other women geek types&#8211;many from Silicon Valley&#8211;on the list include:</p>
<p>Ursula Burns, CEO of Xerox (XRX) at No. 9; IBM (IBM) Global Sales and Distribution SVP Ginni Rometty at No. 11; Oracle (ORCL) President Safra Catz at No. 12; Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) Technology Solutions Group EVP Ann Livermore at No. 13; Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg at No. 22; Charlene Begley, president and CEO, GE (GE) Enterprise Solutions at No. 27; Lorrie Norrington, president of eBay (EBAY) Marketplaces at No. 40; HP CFO Cathie Lesjack at No. 42; and, finally, Google (GOOG) Search Products and User Experience VP Marissa Mayer at No. 44.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.timeinc.net/fortune/conferences/mpws/women_home.html">conference associated with the Fortune issue</a>, spearheaded by Pattie Sellers, will take place next week, starting Monday, in Carlsbad, Calif.</p>
<p>Fortune is part of Time Inc., which is owned by Time Warner (TWX).</p>
<p>Bartz, Sandberg and others will be interviewed onstage, along with Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) chairman and CEO Warren Buffett.</p>
<p>Will BoomTown be in attendance, with my trusty Flip digital video at the ready? Yes, indeedy, so the lady geeks should beware&#8211;and I am talking to <em>you</em>, Sandberg!</p>
<p>Until then, here&#8217;s a cable television interview Bartz did today on CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Squawk Box.&#8221; Clocking in at almost 12 minutes, it&#8217;s classic Carol, with sassy catchphrases and jokes about being a really tough lady, but with little new news&#8211;except for her saying she would have sold to Microsoft (MSFT) when it was offering $33 a share way back when, because she is not &#8220;stupid.&#8221;</p>
<p>Indeed not.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the video:</p>
