Rand Enterprises

Rand Enterprises, formerly known as RAND Oil & Chemical, is an international multi-billion corporation, headquartered in New York City. Founded by Wendell Rand and Harold Meachum, the company flourished under their leadership. In 2001, Meachum engineered an airplane accident which claimed the lives of Rand and his wife, and led to their son Danny Rand being declared legally dead; with Rand's death, the company subsequently fell under the sole leadership of Meachum.
In 2004, Meachum died of cancer and his son Ward Meachum and daughter Joy Meachum officially took over, although Harold, who had been resurrected by the Hand, continued to lead the company from the shadows. After Danny Rand returned to New York in 2016, he was granted his rightful position as majority shareholder, although his decision to prioritize morality over profits caused the board to terminate his employment, firing Ward and Joy as well.
Following the assassination of board member Lawrence Wilkins, slated to be the company's new leader, Rand Enterprises had the three reinstated in order to salvage their public image. After the death of Bakuto, Harold decided to reveal his existence in order to officially reclaim the title of CEO; however, Ward killed his father in order to save Rand's life. Danny Rand subsequently stepped down from an active role in the company to continue his crusade as the Iron Fist, while Ward took over the company again.
