About Marc Randolph

CEO, Netflix

Marc Randolph

Randolph is a veteran Silicon Valley entrepreneur, adviser, and investor. At Netflix, he laid the groundwork for a service that has grown to more than 200 million subscribers and altered how the world experiences media. He served on the Netflix board of directors until retiring from the company in 2003.

Randolph has founded or co-founded six other successful startups, mentored hundreds of early-stage entrepreneurs, and, as an investor, has helped seed dozens of successful tech ventures. Most recently, he co-founded analytics software company Looker Data Sciences, which was acquired by Google in 2019 for $2.6 billion. He currently sits on the boards of Solo Brands, Augment Technologies, Dishcraft Technologies, and the Truckee Donner Land Trust.

Randolph is the author of That Will Never Work: The Birth of Netflix and The Amazing Life of an Idea. He hosts the Apple podcast That Will Never Work, providing 1-on-1 mentoring for entrepreneurs, and he is a judge and investor on Entrepreneur Magazine’s Elevator Pitch web series.

“As the home of the Initiative in Arts, Creativity, and Innovation, the Middle Campus will be a hub of liberal arts activity, where new methods of teaching and learning encourage new modes of thought.”
