Summary
Today, she is its longest serving staff member - apart, that is, from founder Mark Zuckerberg. Since joining him at the age of 21, Gleit has watched a start-up called Facebook transform into a tech giant called Meta, and weathered many storms and controversies along the way. Now head of product, she told the BBC working at Meta was her "dream job" - even if, two decades ago, her family took some persuading that she'd made the right decision. "My mom was disappointed, she wanted me to work for Lehman Brothers," she laughs.
