Mark Zuckerberg has said digital video is the future of Facebook. It's Fidji Simo's job to make sure he's right. 

Simo, vice president of product for Facebook, oversees the company's effort to transform itself into a hub for web video of all kinds, including a new television-like destination that is Facebook's latest high-priority project.
