Female Business Leader Sheryl Sandberg, former COO of Facebook and VP of Google, opens up about God, grief, resilience, and ambition. She discusses her experience in Big Tech, embracing her Jewish identity, the terrifying silence from allies after October 7, and the harrowing stories of sexual violence against Israeli women in her documentary “Screams Before Silence.” Sheryl also reflects on the lessons from her books Lean In and Option B, and shares never-before-told stories of how she found strength after the tragic loss of her husband.
