Jennifer Randle is appointed as MaC VC's first COO, bringing extensive experience to the role.

MaC Venture Capital has made history by appointing Jennifer Randle as their first ever Chief Operating Officer - and she's a Black woman. This is a significant step forward in the mission of the firm, which is to invest without bias and set an example for the world.

Marlon Nichols, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of MaC Venture Capital, spoke to AfroTech about the firm's mission. He said, "Part of our ethos is not to be a 'diversity fund' but to set an example. If you truly invest without bias, you will end up with a very diverse portfolio and a high-performing one, because that's what the world looks like."

Randle is transitioning from her current position as Executive Vice President of Finance and Operations at The Chernin Group, a billion-dollar global investment firm that she helped transform from a family office. She is now leading a company that seeks to truly reflect the world as it is today.

When asked about her new role, Randle said, "I wanted to be able to take all the things I have learned over the last 20-plus years and help build a firm and be a part of something so amazing and special."

MaC Venture Capital is committed to diversity and inclusivity. Over half of their members identify as Black, and more than a quarter are women. While there is still progress to be made in the venture capital space, we are seeing an increasing number of investors like Randle taking the lead.
