Executive Assistant, Investments

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative was founded in 2015 by Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg to help solve some of society's toughest challenges from curing or preventing disease to improving education and addressing the needs of our local communities. We provide the operational support across our areas of work.

The Team

Across our work in Science, Education, and within our communities, we pair technology with grantmaking, impact investing, and collaboration to help accelerate the pace of progress toward our mission. Our Investment team provides the support needed to push this work forward.

The investment team's goal is to build a world-class investment portfolio to help fund CZI's ongoing operations over the long-term. The investment program pursues a "manager of managers" approach, scouring the globe to find extraordinary investment organizations that invest across a wide spectrum of styles and asset classes. The team is led by Chief Investment Officer David Lee, and includes three other executive assistants.
