In her memoir "Careless People," former Facebook executive Sarah Wynn-Williams shares anecdotes from her time working with Mark Zuckerberg. She highlights his distinct disinterest in political engagement, illustrated by an instance where he refused to meet New Zealand Prime Minister John Key, even when Key was present. Wynn-Williams reflects on how this attitude towards diplomacy and policy was in stark contrast to the role of then-COO Sheryl Sandberg, who managed these aspects at Facebook. Her experience underlines the challenges of navigating high-profile interactions with Zuckerberg at the helm.
"People don't openly laugh, but they come close. It's made very clear to me that Mark has no interest in policy or politics - that's Sheryl's world..."
"No. I already said I definitely didn't want to do that," he replied, before he was told by Wynn-Williams that Key was standing beside her.
