For nearly two years, many felt a loss of human connection due to COVID lockdowns. The next guest for our Leadership Lessons episode is the leader of a company whose very mission is to help people connect with one another. Host Jason Nazar will speak with Deb Liu, President & CEO of Ancestry – the largest private online genealogy platform that allows users to create virtual family trees to trace their lineage, and others who may be related to them. Liu joined Ancestry in March 2021 with nearly 20 years of experience at some of the biggest tech companies.
As a woman in Silicon Valley who worked her way to the top of the corporate ladder — she was previously a VP at Facebook and senior leader at eBay and PayPal — Liu knows firsthand the challenges and obstacles that are in the workplace and the ways to overcome them.
