Jared Carney Biography

Jared Carney founded Lightdale, a global holding and strategic advisory firm, in 2012 as the natural evolution of a career spent building companies and relentlessly forging partnerships with business leaders, influential philanthropists and government officials across the globe.

Lightdale is a private family investment firm collaborating with sophisticated investors, family offices, large capital pools, corporations, and governments. Their focus extends beyond generating returns to fostering social and philanthropic impact. Lightdale's investments and joint ventures span dynamic growth regions like the Arctic and Europe and encompass sectors such as real estate, life sciences, consumer technology, natural resources, food, hospitality, healthcare, education, and financial services.

Prior to Lightdale, Carney served as Chief Strategy & Marketing Officer at the Milken Institute for over ten years and spearheaded the annual Global Conference, the world's largest gathering of leaders of the capital markets. During his tenure, Carney was instrumental in exponentially increasing the Institute’s programmatic and revenue growth as it became the world’s leading preeminent financial think tank. Among other accomplishments, he established the Global Capital Markets Advisory Council, the Young Leaders Circle and its Asia Center in Singapore. He also served as a senior advisor to Knowledge Universe as it became the world’s largest privately owned for-profit education company.

Before joining the Institute, Carney was a pioneer in the Internet/high-tech and media industries where he successfully founded, launched or helped build a number of disruptive companies and technologies which he helped steer to successful exits. Examples include launching Java for Sun Microsystems, establishing Fox Networks web presence and co-starting Intranets.com, an Idealab company (sold to WebEx), and Captura (sold to Concur).

Carney is on the board of directors of Brandenburg Realty, a Berlin-headquartered international property company, and Morpher, the folding helmet company. He serves on the Board of Advisors of The Arctic Circle; is the founder of the California Fund and co-founder of the Arctic Maritime Exchange; and is a senior advisor to a group of governments as well as the Milken Institute and Prostate Cancer Foundation. He is a senior advisor to a number of firms and is Vice-Chairman of McKinley Capital, a $7 billion AUM quantitative asset manager based in Anchorage, Alaska. Carney is also a venture partner at SparkLabs focusing on strategic ventures and launching new initiatives.
