Randi Jayne Zuckerberg (born February 28, 1982) is an American businesswoman. She is the former Director of Market Development and spokesperson for Facebook, and a sister of the company's co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Prior to working at Facebook, she was a panelist on Forbes on Fox. As of May 2014, she is founder and CEO of Zuckerberg Media, editor-in-chief (EIC) of Dot Complicated, a digital lifestyle website, and creator of Dot., an animated television show about a young girl (the eponymous Dot) who uses technology to enhance both her educational experiences and recreational activities, which airs on Sprout.
Ranked among 50 "Digital Power Players" by The Hollywood Reporter in 2010, Zuckerberg organized, and was also a correspondent for the ABC News/Facebook Democratic Party and Republican Party U.S. Presidential primaries debates in 2008. She also fulfilled a correspondent role at the CNN/Facebook Inauguration Day Partnership in 2009, the Comcast Facebook Diaries event, and the 2008 Facebook Democratic National Convention (DNC) and Republican National Conventions.
Adopting a politically neutral stance, Zuckerberg told the Wall Street Journal that her Facebook journalist team was treated at the DNC "like rock stars." On the evening of November 2, 2010, Zuckerberg worked at a "town hall" assembled by ABC News as part of its television coverage of the U.S. national midterm elections. The seven-hour event was webcast in its entirety, on both Facebook and the ABC website.
