I'm the 25-year-old CEO of Lean In. I love my 2-minute cleaning hack, talking to myself on walks, and beach weekends — here's my routine.
Bridget Griswold is the 25-year-old CEO of Lean In, the nonprofit founded by Sheryl Sandberg. Here's a day in her life in San Francisco.
Bridget Griswold is the 25-year-old CEO of Lean In. She shares her daily routine in a as-told-to essay for Business Insider. Griswold, who grew up in San Francisco, developed a love for technology during her time at Brown University. She worked on a robot project with two female professors and later interned at a semiconductor manufacturing company.
Her role at Meta involved redesigning the Instagram search grid, which led her to start her role as CEO at Lean In in March. Griswold wakes up at 7:30 a.m., pets her needy cat, and immediately has coffee. She spends two minutes brushing her teeth while cleaning her apartment, making her bed, emptying the dishwasher, and feeding her cat.
Griswold works on the West Coast, adjusting to earlier workdays. She spends most of her workday in meetings, connecting with various teams and the Lean In community. She practices for meetings by talking to herself on Zoom calls and walks. Griswold leaves work around 6 p.m., continuing to work at home until bedtime. She focuses on giving feedback, writing, responding to emails, and brainstorming ideas.
Griswold enjoys cooking more meals at home, with half of the time being takeout and the other half being home-cooked meals.
