A Harvard graduate who cut her teeth at globally recognized communications leaders like Ogilvy & Mather and Forbes, Inc., Zuckerberg served as Facebook's first marketing executive and spokesperson, and later authored the New York Times bestseller, "Dot Complicated," in which she addresses the multifaceted complications of our socially transparent world and shares her unique perspective on untangling our wired lives.

"Who better to speak at our social media conference than someone who was a key figure in Facebook's rise as a global social media powerhouse?" said Stephen Selby, assistant vice president, director LIMRA Regulatory Services. "Randi Zuckerberg has continued to play a pivotal role in the social media space and help financial services companies understand how to succeed in social business."
