The elder sister of Meta (formerly Facebook) co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg is an entrepreneur, founder of the social networking site Zuckerberg Media, and author of several books. For ten years, Randy worked for her brother’s company as director of market development and as a Facebook spokesperson.
In Okcoin she will lead the council and advise OKCoin on attracting women to crypto projects, blockchain programs, and other initiatives under her leadership.
Zuckerberg said in a video promoting her move to Okcoin:
“Crypto and this new era of wealth creation should be open to everyone, I’ve joined Okcoin’s advisory council to support that mission and bring more women into the world of crypto.”
Had so much fun filming this video (complete with a cameo from my toddler) and over the moon to be working with @Okcoin to get more women into the crypto space https://t.co/FtURPcFcSt

Hong Fang, CEO of OKCoin said:
“Historically, women and other marginalized social groups have been isolated from the traditional financial system. Cryptocurrencies are changing this norm.”
Okcoin founded in 2013, is one of the world’s best crypto exchanges that is serving clients of more than 190 countries.
Earlier, such an initiative aimed at women and minorities was launched by the American crypto firm Circle.
