She looks insane in every photo I've ever seen of her. Even the company vetted ones her eyes are always wide open and she looks nervous.


She looks ok in google image searches. I'd personally like to meet her just to find out how she convinced so many people to invest in her company.


Eh, I see where you're going. There's two ways to look at that, though. One is worrying about her sanity. The other is thinking she's an energetic, ambitious person pushing her product and company. You'll see a lot of what's in the photos if you ever delve into the world of sales teams and marketing execs. ;)


Huh, what? You mean a bit like you would see a lot of autistic neckbeards if you ever delve into the world of software engineering?

I can't see how looking crazy with wide open eyes and fake smiles correlates with "sales teams and marketing execs."

That's a completely gratuitous caricature.


The profession is about enthusiasm and confidence. So, many people there are constantly smiling, wide-eyed, vigorously shaking your hand like you're their lost brother, telling you how happy you'll be with the product, and so on. Many of them. They're also usually successful to some degree.
