    Harvard Business School, White House alumna says connections don't matter

    In an interview with BoomTown's Kara Swisher, Facebook's new second-in-command Sheryl Sandberg says "Silicon Valley is a very good place for women."

    For a couple reasons. It's a meritocracy. People really care about ideas here. None of the old school where'd-you-come-from stuff applies in Silicon Valley and I think that helps women.
    Where Sandberg comes from:
    • Google
    • The Clinton White House
    • Harvard College
    • Harvard Business School
    She was also Larry Page's connection to Bono. But I'm sure that doesn't matter, either.
