Facebook Adds Sandberg to Board, Naming First Woman Director

Facebook Inc. (FB) said Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg will become a director, adding the first woman to a seven-man board.
“Sheryl has been my partner in running Facebook and has been central to our growth and success over the years,” Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg said in a statement. “Her understanding of our mission and long-term opportunity, and her experience both at Facebook and on public company boards makes her a natural fit for our board.”
Facebook has been seeking to add directors, including at least one woman, who can add diversity, people with knowledge of the matter said last month. The world’s largest social- networking service has drawn scrutiny for the lack of independent directors and gender diversity on its board, even as most of its 901 million users are women.
