Chanelle Bessette, She’s Not Just Pushing Pixels. Facebook’s Julie Zhuo guides how people experience the special network: she hopes there’s a lot to ‘like.’
(“a Stanford-educated computer scientist. Zhuo, 30, joined Facebook in May 2006, when she was just 22 years old. She was the company’s first intern when its social network was still largely limited to people with email addresses from educational institutions. After only a month, she was hired full-time as an engineer. * * * Today she leads a group of 35 people as director of product design. * * * Zhuo is originally from Shanghai, but her family packed up when she was 5 to move to Texas”)

My comment:
(a) I can not find her Chinese name.
(b) The report carries a photo of hers.
(c) There is no need to read the rest.

(d)
(i) The French surnames Bessette/Besset--there is a British actress Jacqueline BISSET (1944- ) --”from a diminutive of bès ‘birch’ * * *  The ending is not feminine, but reflects the Canadian custom of pronouncing a final -t, which is generally silent in metropolitan French.”
(ii) The first name Chanelle is a variant of Chanel (as in Coco CHANEL).
(iii) French- English dictionary

chanel (noun masculine; Old French): “channel”
