Though best known for his “uniform” of jeans, sneakers and a fitted gray T-shirt — adding a hoodie if the weather demands — the Facebook CEO will don a suit and tie when he testifies before Congress this week.
The 33-year-old billionaire is no stranger to suits. In 2009, he wore a tie every day, the first of what have become his yearly “personal challenges.”
Back then, the U.S. economy was in a deep recession and Facebook was not yet profitable. The company “needed to get serious about making sure Facebook had a sustainable business model,” he wrote on his Facebook page this January.
Today “feels a lot like that first year,” he added. The world feels “anxious and divided” and Facebook, he wrote, has a lot of work to do.
His personal challenge for 2018 is to fix Facebook.
