Show Notes

Meta CFO Susan Li joins Glue Guys to share her incredible journey from an immigrant to becoming one of the youngest Fortune 100 CFOs. Susan discusses joining Facebook in 2008 when it had only 400 employees and was smaller than MySpace, her unique childhood experiences, and the sacrifices her parents made coming to America. She reveals insights about Meta's culture of fast learning, succession planning, mentorship philosophy, and working alongside Mark Zuckerberg. Susan reflects on feeling different growing up, the power of books in connecting with others, and how great mentors gave her opportunities rather than just advice. A fascinating conversation about leadership, identity, gratitude, and building one of the world's largest companies.
