Matt Jacobson, Facebook Head of Market Development

This week’s conversation is with Matt Jacobson, Head of Market Development at Facebook.

In this role, he focuses on strategic partnerships that connect people to some of the world's most recognized brands.

Facebook may be one of the world’s largest companies today, but it wasn’t when Matt joined as employee number 8 over 13 years ago.

He took a leap of faith at the time – he believed in their mission and their founder, Mark Zuckerberg, and began working for no salary, only equity.

You could say that bet paid off.

What gave Matt the confidence to join Facebook?

His intellectual curiosity has been a driving force for him for since he was young.

In this conversation, we discuss how that intellectual curiosity has allowed him to stay ahead of the curve, take risks and opened up new opportunities.

Matt understands, values, and invests deeply in relationships so it’s no surprise that his philosophy is: “To be the best part of another person’s day.”

What a cool thought.
