Zuckerberg has no official search for COO, but regards Sandberg as "perfectly fit" for this role. In March 2008, Facebook announced recruiting Sandberg from Google for COO role.
After joining the company, Sandberg quickly started trying to find ways to make Facebook profitable. Before he joined, the company "was primarily interested in building a really cool site, profits, they assumed, would follow." In late spring, Facebook's leadership has agreed to rely on advertising, "with silently presented ads"; in 2010, Facebook became profitable.

Lean In
Sandberg released his first book, Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead , co-written by Nell Scovell and published by Knopf on March 11, 2013.
It is about leadership and business development, issues with the lack of women in government and business leadership positions, and feminism. In the fall of 2013, the book sold over a million copies and was on top of the bestseller list since its launch.
Lean In is a book for professional women to help them achieve their career goals and for men who want to contribute to a more just society. The book argues that barriers still prevent women from taking on leadership roles in the workplace, barriers such as discrimination, blatant and subtle sexism, and sexual harassment. Sandberg claims there are also barriers that women create for themselves through the internalization of systematic discrimination and the gender role of society. Sandberg argues that for change to occur, women need to break these social and personal barriers by seeking and achieving leadership roles. The main purpose is to encourage women to rely on leadership positions because he believes that by having more women's voices in positions of power there will be a fairer chance created for everyone.
Critics of the book include claims that Sandberg is "too elitist" and the other that he is "tone deaf" to the struggles faced by the average woman in the workplace. Sandberg mentions both of these issues in the introduction of his book, stating that he was "very aware that most women struggle to meet the needs and take care of their families" and that his intention was to "offer suggestions that would have been useful long before I heard about Google or Facebook.". Furthermore, after the scandal of Facebook and Cambridge Analytica data violations, it has been questioned that Sandberg's willingness to really lean back. "'He does not lean at all,' says McNamee, in Sandberg's broad reference. reading a book published five years ago. "If there's time for him to lean on, here he is." "
In his book, he advises other women to lean over the challenge.
Instead, he is considered a COO that avoids getting involved in this crisis. "Sandberg, the business model architect who is now the subject of surveillance, remains silent in public."
For him, it can be said that in his book he acknowledges those who overcome the crisis.
Option B
Sandberg released his second book, Option B, in April 2017. Option B was co-written with Wharton professor Adam Grant. This book emphasizes sadness and resilience in life's challenges. It offers practical tips for creating resilience in families and communities. 2.75 million copies have been sold since the release.
Ban Bossy
In March 2014 Sandberg and Lean In sponsored the controversial Ban Bossy campaign, media censorship and social media advocacy campaign designed to outlaw bossy from general use because of its harmful effects on young girls. Some video venues with well-known spokespeople including Beyoncà © Å ©, Jennifer Garner, and Condoleezza Rice are among others produced together with websites that provide school training materials, leadership tips, and online pledge forms where visitors can promise not to use the word.

Personal life
Sandberg married Brian Kraff in 1993, and divorced a year later. In 2004, he married Dave Goldberg, then an executive with Yahoo! and then CEO SurveyMonkey. The couple had a son and a daughter. Sandberg and Goldberg often discuss about marriage together that produces/shares parents. Sandberg also raised the issue of single parenting which is very much against the professional and economic development in America.
On May 1, 2015, Dave Goldberg died unexpectedly, and his death was initially reported as a result of sustained head trauma falling off the treadmill, while the couple were vacationing in Mexico. Sandberg later said that the cause of her husband's death was caused by the arrhythmia, and not for falling off the treadmill.
