# Randi Zuckerberg (Mark Zuckerberg’s sister): The ex-Facebook employee and media mogul

Randi Zuckerberg

Randi Zuckerberg has created four books, began her own particular media organization, run various network shows, and performed on Broadway. She may even be looking at her own syndicated program.

The oldest Zuckerberg has for quite some time been a vivacious identity in Silicon Valley, where she’s ridiculed the tech business’ hermetic culture and taken a stand in opposition to the impairments of web-based social networking. In any case, she is the first to concede that her profession has for quite some time been eclipsed by that of her more youthful sibling, Mark, who is the organizer and CEO of Facebook.

“Each article expounded on me now alludes to me as Randi Zuckerberg, Mark’s sister,” she once told the New York Times. “Possibly one day that won’t be what individuals say in regards to me.”

Randi’s vocation started as one of the principal Facebook representatives, however since leaving the organization following a bright six-year stretch, she’s manufactured her own particular way. What’s more, she’s never delayed to express her sentiments in regards to Facebook’s deficiencies either.

### Here’s a look into the life of Randi, the other Zuckerberg:

In 1999, Randi Zuckerberg began studying psychology at Harvard. She said she originally hoped to join the university’s music department, but was turned down. (Photo: Thomson Reuters)
In 2002, Randi’s younger brother, Mark, joined her at Harvard. While Randi graduated in 2003, Mark famously dropped out.
After graduating, Randi moved to New York where she joined ‘Forbes on Fox’ as a production assistant for $32,000 a year. (Photo: Richard Drew/AP) Source: New York Times
In a 2011 interview with The New York Times, Randi said that Mark expressed concern to their mother that his older sister was in a “dead-end career.” (Kay Nietfeld/AP Images) Source: New York Times
And so, Mark bought his sister a plane ticket to visit Facebook’s office. “I think you’ll like it,” he told her at the time. (Jeff Chiu/Press Association Images, Source: New York Times)
Mark was right. At the end of her visit, Mark handed his sister a piece of paper with two lines: a salary, and stock options. Randi agreed to the offer, joining Facebook as a marketing manager. (Source: New York Times)
Despite working at one of the most prominent companies in Silicon Valley, Randi pushed back against Palo Alto’s staid culture. (Source: Huffington Post)
But Randi’s antics weren’t always well-received. In 2007, her expansive personality clashed with online viewers when she posted a video of herself in a pink boa singing a song called “Chapel of Love.” (Owen Thomas, Business Insider)
Mark, too, expressed displeasure after Randi openly discussed Facebook’s poor reception at the Republican National Convention in 2009. “Mark was not happy about that,” she told the New York Times. (flickr/foreignoffice)

A year after leaving Facebook, she created the production company Zuckerberg Media, where she currently oversees two television shows and a number of marketing projects. (Photo: Delbarr Moradi)
She’s also revisited her musical roots in recent years, with a guest appearance in a 2014 production of ‘Rock of Ages’ on Broadway. (Andrey Bayda / Shutterstock)
Since quitting Facebook, Randi has written multiple books. Along with two children’s books, she’s published ‘Dot Complicated: Untangling our Wired Lives,’ a memoir that delves into the influences of social media on society. (Source: http://www.facebook.com/Randi)
Despite her close connections to the world’s most influential media site, Randi has spoken out on multiple occasions regarding the detriments of technology. (Getty images)

> “No one ever created anything amazing of value when they were glued to a screen 24 hours a day,”

she said at a fundraising luncheon last fall.

In addition to her work with Zuckerberg Media, Randi hosts a radio show called “Dot Complicated,” where she regularly chats with entrepreneurs and leaders in the tech industry. (Donald Kravitz / Stringer)

The radio show might be groundwork for a forthcoming venture: Randi has long hinted a t her desire to host her own talk show.
