Randi Zuckerberg United States - New York, New York

Randi Zuckerberg likes to call herself “a professional mom to entrepreneurs” because nothing gives her greater joy than working closely with startups and founders. Randi currently works with more than 20 early and mid stage companies as an investor and advisor and she sits on the board of directors for The Motley Fool and Life360.

Randi is passionate about helping families navigate our digital world. Through her company, Zuckerberg Media, she has created award-winning content and experiences that educate families and bring to light issues around digital literacy and safety. She is the best selling author of four books, producer of multiple television shows and theater productions, and hosts a weekly radio show on SiriusXM. Randi has been recognized with an Emmy nomination, two Tony awards, a Drama Desk Award, and a Kidscreen Award. Prior to founding her own company, Randi was an early employee at Facebook, where she is best known for creating Facebook Live, now used by more than two billion people around the globe.

When she's not Facebooking or actual written-word booking, she can be found at the theater, on the golf course (newly obsessed golfer,) traveling the world (physically or virtually) to speak at conferences or doing her best to unplug at home with her husband and three children.
