My answer to If Sheryl Sandberg cannot  code, how can she manage a leading software company like Facebook? on Quora

There is way more to running a technology company than just writing or understanding code. According to Wikipedia, Sheryl “oversees the firm’s business operations including sales, marketing, business development, human resources, public policy and communications.”—that means that among other things she’s responsible for the parts of Facebook that make the money!
