Zuckerberg's 5 Wildest Moments With World Leaders: Ex-Employee's Book - Business Insider

Zuckerberg's Unconventional Encounters with World Leaders

Sarah Wynn-Williams's memoir, "Careless People," recounts her experiences working at Meta (formerly Facebook) and details several memorable interactions between Mark Zuckerberg and various world leaders. These encounters often highlighted Zuckerberg's perceived lack of interest in international relations and his sometimes unconventional behavior.

Notable Incidents

• Meeting with New Zealand's Prime Minister: Zuckerberg initially refused to meet with then-Prime Minister John Key, showing clear disinterest in policy or politics.
• Meetings with Russian and South Korean Leaders: Zuckerberg appeared nervous and sweaty during meetings with Dmitry Medvedev and Park Geun-hye, contrasting with his behavior in other situations.
• Joint Media Appearance with Colombian President: Zuckerberg's unpreparedness and the Colombian president's early departure left Zuckerberg alone on stage.
• Summit of the Americas: Zuckerberg's security detail accidentally shoved the President of Guatemala during an attempt to clear a path.
• Failed Attempt to Meet Xi Jinping: A planned meeting with Xi Jinping at the APEC summit was thwarted by a wall of security personnel.

Meta responded to the book's claims by stating that Wynn-Williams was fired for poor performance and toxic behavior and that the book contains false accusations.
