How Facebook Marketplace VP Approaches Multi-tasking
Facebook Marketplace VP Deb Liu got her start selling products online while she was getting her MBA. The experience taught her that connecting buyers and sellers could help people supplement their incomes, and even change the world.
In her current role, she enjoys helping other people open more opportunities for themselves. Liu encourages women considering a career in tech not to let the bad headlines dissuade them. She thinks the tech world offers opportunity to make a great impact in the world in a fulfilling and flexible career.
Liu even has a routine when it comes to her down time. The vice president says she puts her three children to bed at nine, then works out, before taking time to write and put her thoughts "to bed" on paper. She agrees with colleague Sheryl Sandberg that the most important career decision is who you marry.

Apple’s earnings for the first three months of the year topped Wall Street’s expectations thanks to high demand for its iPhones, and the company said tariffs had a limited effect on the fiscal second quarter’s results. Cook added that for the current quarter, assuming things don’t change, Apple expects to see $900 million added to its costs as a result of the tariffs.
