If you were Zuck and you could fill this seat who would you pick
I'd apologize to Carmack for limiting his ability to influence the direction of Quest and try to lure him to the board and away from AGI. Not that I think Carmack would go for that, but if Meta wants VR to thrive then I think elevating John to a position to orchestrate everything is the way to go.
Im pretty sure thats not what boards care about.
You want to elaborate on what you feel boards do then? I feel they help set strategy and oversee management, but hopefully in a hands-off way where they let the CEO do their thing unless numbers aren't being met. It's a little awkward since Meta's structure prevents Zuck from being removed so the board isn't able to vote him out. So if they're merely acting as strategic advisors, and if Zuck is still gung-ho on metaverse, then yes absolutely I want John on the board.
Julian Assange
Michelle Obama. Checks off all the DEI boxes. Checks off the Political boxes. Checks off the intelligence boxes. One box remains: a sinister minister? can I trust her.
No way she'd say yes to that
Rashida Tlaib would bring about some balance in leadership at Meta /s
Tlaib is an activist on certain issues and a moderate on others. Balance is her game.

Me!
Me!
Zuck himself
If I were Zuck with Zuck's goals or Zuck with my goals?
Let’s assume you want to sleep at night and be able to look yourself in the mirror.
history will judge her
Finally !!
why?
I read her book and it had stupid sexist advice, for one thing. It was like, "if you want a raise, blame your husband! tell them 'My husband needs me to make more money' and other out of touch suggestions like "get a nanny so you can take off and go to conferences" and if you're overwhelmed at home to hire a housekeeper. Just overall was poorly written, full of name dropping to her celeb gal pals (did you know she is friends with Oprah, Ariana Huffington, Maria Shriver, Kelly Ripa and Hilary Clinton??!) and self-promotional.
I’ve worked with her directly and she’s a hell of a lot smarter than most executives I’ve ever had to deal with. You may not like her book, but there’s a lot of good reasons she has the complex and impressive legacy on tech that she has.
What was she like in person? Any particular situation that stand out?
