Deborah Liu

Deb Liu runs Facebook’s developer and commerce businesses, where she oversees product management and engineering for dozens of products and initiatives that make it possible for companies all over the world to build, grow, and monetize their apps and sites. She led the development of Facebook’s first mobile ad product for apps and Audience Network while also building the company’s games business and payments platform.

Named one of the most powerful female engineers of 2017 by Business Insider, Ms. Liu is a 15-year veteran in the tech industry. Prior to Facebook, she spent several years in product management roles at PayPal and eBay, including leading the integration between the two companies. She is also a seed investor and adviser to several start-ups. Actively involved with promoting diversity and women in tech, Ms. Liu serves on the board of Expanding Your Horizons Network, a non-profit that focuses on inspiring girls to pursue STEM careers. She co-created the Women in Product nonprofit after realizing that there was no forum for this underrepresented community to connect.

Ms. Liu has an MBA from Stanford’s Graduate School of Business and a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Duke University. She is the mother of three children, and she enjoys doing #mommyschool activities with them.
