Ruchi Sanghvi: From Facebook to facing the unknown

www.INKtalks.com Ruchi Sanghvi, Facebook's first female engineer, decided early on to follow her intuition rather than let fear or convention dictate her decisions. From joining Facebook, to building Facebook Newsfeed, to quitting Facebook and embarking on her own startup, Sanghvi has continuously defied--and then surpassed--expectations. Her startup, Cove, was acquired soon after she gave this talk.

Inspiring. No one is fearless. Defeating fear is a difficult fair. Fear often is unfounded. As I have experienced, most of my fears never became real, but fear I did.
