While at Harvard, Sandberg met then-professor Larry Summers who became her mentor and thesis adviser. Summers recruited her to be his research assistant at the World Bank, where she worked for approximately one year on health projects in India dealing with leprosy, AIDS, and blindness.

>>> She was mentored by Larry Summers, the guy who later got into trouble by opining on women's capacity to be good in STEM fields.

What an irony.
