| Earlier this week, I attended Fortune‘s 24th Most Powerful Women Summit in Laguna Niguel, Calif. It was electric, buzzing with top executives across venture, politics, finance, and technology.
In a conversation with Marne Levine, Meta’s chief business officer and highest-ranking woman, we discussed Mark Zuckerberg’s metaverse future and how she is trying to maintain employee morale during the company’s first-ever slowdown.
“People at Meta—they genuinely have this mindset, which is that things are going to change and evolve,” Levine told me. “If you’re not comfortable with that, it’s probably not the right place for you.”
I also had the opportunity to speak with Congresswoman Liz Cheney, who is focused on making sure Donald Trump never gets near the White House again. She thinks business executives have an obligation to help.
“Democracy is on the ballot this fall,” Cheney told me when discussing the number of election deniers running for office. “Like all voters, corporate America has a real responsibility to be clear about the kinds of politics that they’re going to reward and incentivize and the kinds of leaders they’re going to reward and incentivize.”
Outside of MPW, Fortune released its eighth annual Change the World list, recognizing companies that are doing well by doing good. Topping the charts was PayPal, in particular for leaping into action after Russia invaded Ukraine.
