Mark Zuckerberg 

Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook, was born on May 14, 1984 in White Plains, New York. This American programmer and entrepreneur began showing an interest in technology at a very young age. In high school, he was already creating programs, such as one that connected his home computers with his father's dental practice, allowing them to communicate with each other. That little project was just the beginning of a brilliant and unique mind. The real turning point came when he entered Harvard University in 2002 or 2003, according to various sources, to study computer science. In those college years, Zuckerberg began working on a series of projects that would set a path. One of the first was CourseMatch, a tool that helped students select classes based on the decisions of their peers. However, his most controversial project at the time was Facemash, a platform where students could compare photos of their peers and vote on who was more attractive. Although it quickly gained popularity, it was shut down by the Harvard administration for violating privacy policies. In 2004, from his Harvard dorm room and with the collaboration of colleagues such as Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes, Zuckerberg launched “Thefacebook”, a social network initially intended only for students at the university. This platform was the pillar of what we know today as Facebook, a network that would transcend university classrooms to become a global phenomenon. Through his leadership, the company grew rapidly, spreading to other universities and eventually to the general public. Zuckerberg's vision went beyond being a simple connection point between friends; he wanted to create a space where people could communicate and share information regardless of borders. Over time, Zuckerberg made decisions that further fueled the company's growth. In 2012, Facebook went public, raising $16 billion and establishing itself as one of the most successful public offerings in the history of the Internet. This achievement was just the beginning of a series of strategic acquisitions, such as Instagram and WhatsApp, which expanded Zuckerberg's digital empire. However, not everything has been easy. Throughout his career, he has faced numerous challenges, especially in relation to privacy and data management. The Cambridge Analytica scandal in 2018, where it was revealed that millions of users' data was used without their consent, tested his leadership and the company's reputation. Despite the difficulties, Zuckerberg has maintained his focus on the mission of connecting people around the world.
