Frank H. McCourt, Jr., is a civic entrepreneur and the executive chairman and former CEO of McCourt Global, a private family company committed to building a better future through its work across the real estate, sports & media, technology, and capital investment industries, as well as its significant philanthropic activities. Frank is proud to extend his family’s 130-year legacy of merging social impact with financial results, an approach started when the original McCourt Company was launched in Boston in 1893. He is also the founder and executive chairman of Project Liberty, which aims to transform the internet through a new, equitable technology infrastructure. This international nonprofit includes Project Liberty’s Institute (formerly The McCourt Institute), launched with founding partners Georgetown University, Stanford University and Sciences Po, to advance research and develop a governance model for the internet’s next era. In 2021, Project Liberty released the Decentralized Social Networking Protocol (DSNP), a groundbreaking, open-source protocol that enables users to own and control their data and provides a foundation for the building of healthier social media models. Frank is a Georgetown University alumnus and has served on its Board of Directors for many years. In 2013, he made a $100 million founding investment to create Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy. He expanded on this in 2021 with a $100 million investment to catalyze an inclusive pipeline of leaders and put the school on a path to becoming tuition-free. Frank owns the French football club Olympique de Marseille and formerly owned the Los Angeles Dodgers. He has built upon his family’s roots in the construction business through his real estate work, including the development of Boston’s Seaport to large, mixed-use projects in major cities worldwide.
