Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg visited Samsung Electronics Co.’s key factory complex and exchanged talks with top officials on various industry fields, Samsung said Wednesday.

“Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl Sandberg visited Suwon Samsung Digital City, south of Seoul, on Oct. 15,” Samsung said in its release. “The purpose of the visit is to exchange success experiences of the two companies.”

Samsung said Zuckerberg met with top officials, including Shin Jong-kyun, who heads the IT and mobile division, as well as other executives from various business sectors, exchanging talks on the “DNA of success.”

Facebook officials also visited the Samsung Innovation Museum, which opened in April, while also taking a look into Samsung’s semiconductor production line.

Sandberg also met some 10 female Samsung executives, where she exchanged ideas on women’s leadership, adding while females’ role in society has developed significantly over the past century, it has not developed much over the previous decade.

She is also said to have added while females were previously referred to as “too aggressive at work,” such a characteristic has now emerged as an “executive leadership skill.” (Yonhap)
