How Facebook Marketplace VP Approaches Multi-tasking
Facebook Marketplace VP Deb Liu got her start selling products online while she was getting her MBA. The experience taught her that connecting buyers and sellers could help people supplement their incomes, and even change the world.
In her current role, she enjoys helping other people open more opportunities for themselves. Liu encourages women considering a career in tech not to let the bad headlines dissuade them. She thinks the tech world offers opportunity to make a great impact in the world in a fulfilling and flexible career.
Liu even has a routine when it comes to her down time. The vice president says she puts her three children to bed at nine, then works out, before taking time to write and put her thoughts "to bed" on paper. She agrees with colleague Sheryl Sandberg that the most important career decision is who you marry.
President Donald Trump said he has decided to lower his combined tariff rates on imports of Chinese goods to 47% after talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping on curbing fentanyl trafficking.
Universal Music Group and AI platform Udio have settled a copyright lawsuit and will collaborate on a new music creation and streaming platform. The companies announced on Wednesday that they reached a compensatory legal settlement and new licensing agreements. These agreements aim to provide more revenue opportunities for Universal's artists and songwriters. The rise of AI song generation tools like Udio has disrupted the music streaming industry, leading to accusations from record labels. This deal marks the first since Universal and others sued Udio and Suno last year. Financial terms of the settlement weren't disclosed.
