Career
editGoldberg worked for Bain & Company for two years after graduating from college. He had planned to attend law school but instead joined Capitol Records, where he served as director of marketing strategy and new business development.[6][7] He founded LAUNCH Media in 1994, and led it through its acquisition by Yahoo Inc. in 2001.[7] He quit Yahoo in 2007 and joined Benchmark Capital. He then joined SurveyMonkey in 2009.[4]
Personal life
editIn 2004, Goldberg married Sheryl Sandberg, with whom he had two children. They lived in Menlo Park, California.[4]
Death and memorials
editOn May 1, 2015, Goldberg collapsed at a private beach-front villa near the Four Seasons Resort in Punta Mita, near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, during a vacation with Sandberg; he died later that day at a hospital in Nuevo Vallarta. According to the Nayarit State Prosecutor's Office, Goldberg fell off a treadmill while exercising at a gym and died after suffering head trauma and blood loss.[4][8][9]
Goldberg's brother, Robert Goldberg, in an article written by Tim Bradshaw for the Financial Times that appeared on the website of MSN News, on May 2, 2015, described his family's "incredible shock and sadness", in an online post asking well-wishers to post photos and memories to his Facebook profile page. "In lieu of donations, we want to celebrate his life in a manner that respects the family’s privacy as they cope with this tragic, life changing event", Robert Goldberg wrote. Tributes to Goldberg were posted to social media across the Silicon Valley community. A spokeperson for Facebook said its executives were "heartbroken by this news." Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s chief executive, said in a post that Goldberg was "an amazing person and I am glad I got to know him". "One of the truly great people on the planet, Dave was of almost unimaginably remarkable character," said Dick Costolo, Twitter’s chief executive. "One of kindest and most generous friends I’ve known," said Jeff Weiner, chief executive of LinkedIn.[4][10]
A memorial service for Goldberg was held at Stanford Memorial Auditorium on the Stanford University campus on May 5, 2015. The 90-minute service was attended by many members of what Fortune described as "the elite of Silicon Valley", as well as U2 frontman Bono, who performed his song "One", and actor Ben Affleck, who had worked with Goldberg on a philanthropy project in Africa.[11]
Sheryl Sandberg, Goldberg's wife, wrote a Facebook post with an essay commemorating Goldberg 30 days after his death (sheloshim period), talking about her own struggle overcoming the grief of his death and the support that her loved ones had given her in this difficult time.[12] The post got over 800,000 likes, over 300,000 shares, and over 60,000 comments. It was also discussed in Business Insider[13] and the New York Times.[14]
