Adrian Malik Fenty (born December 6, 1970)[3] is an American politician who served as the mayor of the District of Columbia[4] from 2007 to 2011.
A Washington, D.C. native, Fenty graduated from Oberlin College and Howard University Law School, then served for six years on the D.C. Council. He served one term as D.C. mayor and lost his bid for reelection at the primary level to his eventual successor, Democrat Vincent C. Gray. Though Fenty won the Republican mayoral primary as a write-in candidate, he declined the Republican nomination and said he would likely not seek elected office again.
Since leaving office, Fenty has become a special advisor to the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz,[5] and served as a member of the business development team at the law firm Perkins Coie.[6] Fenty has held advisory and business development roles with Rosetta Stone, Everfi, and Capgemini. He has served on the boards of directors at two nonprofits: Genesys Works-Bay Area and Fight for Children.[7] He has served as a paid speaker, part-time college professor, and adviser for state and local governments with an information technology consulting firm.
