Marc Mezvinsky (born December 10, 1977) is a U.S.-based investor currently holding a partner position at TPG. Previously, he was vice chairman at the venture capital firm Social Capital. He is married to Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Early life and education

Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Mezvinsky was raised attending a Conservative Jewish synagogue as well as Friends' Central School, a Quaker institution near Philadelphia. His parents, Edward Mezvinsky and Marjorie Margolies, both served as Democratic representatives in the U.S. House.

He grew up with ten siblings, five of whom were adopted; his mother authored They Came to Stay, chronicling her experiences adopting children from Korea and Vietnam. The family actively supported refugee households and facilitated medical treatments and adoptions for international children.

Mezvinsky completed his undergraduate studies in religious studies and philosophy at Stanford University in 2000, followed by a master's degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics from Pembroke College, Oxford.

Personal life

As a teenager, Mezvinsky met Chelsea Clinton during a Democratic political retreat held in Hilton Head, South Carolina in 1993. Their families were connected through their parents’ congressional service. The couple became publicly known in 2005 and announced their engagement in 2009. They married in an interfaith ceremony in Rhinebeck, New York, in July 2010.

The couple has three children: Charlotte Clinton Mezvinsky (born September 26, 2014), Aidan Clinton Mezvinsky (born June 18, 2016), and Jasper Clinton Mezvinsky (born July 22, 2019).

Philanthropy

Mezvinsky holds board positions with the Pembroke College Foundation and the Ann Romney Center for Neurologic Diseases, which promotes medical advancements through collaborative and patient-focused research efforts. He has also served on the board of the Madison Square Park Conservancy.

Business career

Following his academic pursuits, Mezvinsky began his career at Goldman Sachs as an emerging markets foreign exchange strategist before transitioning to the global macro proprietary trading desk. He later became senior partner at 3G Capital and subsequently launched Eaglevale Partners, a hedge fund concentrating on multi-strategy investments across currencies, commodities, and bonds. Eaglevale Partners ceased operations in 2016.

In 2017, he joined Social Capital as Vice Chairman overseeing business development and managing its portfolio companies until his departure in spring 2018.

By 2019, he assumed the role of managing director and business unit partner at TPG. He was elevated to partner within the firm in 2022.
