Thursday's sale of the Boston Celtics to William Chisholm means there will be a new era in the franchise's long history with a new owner running the show. The bombshell report dropped Thursday that Chisholm will be purchasing the team in the largest sale in North American history of a sports franchise, and now the transition period for the team and Chisholm will begin.
Currently, Chisholm is the managing director and co-founder of Symphony Technology Group and has lifelong ties to the city of Boston and as a fan of the Boston Celtics. Taking a more in-depth look at the eventual new Celtics owner, here are things to know about William Chisholm.
A Georgetown native, William Chisholm attended Dartmouth College was a member of the soccer team and graduated in 1991. Not only himself, but Chisholm's son also played soccer at Dartmouth and attended the school from 2016-2019. He would also go on to receive his MBA from Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
According to Boston.com, Chisholm started his career in early-stage technology and investment banking until he moved on and started doing private equity. He was the co-founder of Valent Group and spent time with the Boston-based company Bain & Company, a consulting company. Currently at STG, the business has more than $10 billion in assets and their highest fund was in 2023 when they reportedly raised $4.2 billion. Other than his work at STG, Chisholm sits on the board of directors for the following companies: Dodge Data, Cadmium, and CAI software.
One of the biggest notes of information on Chisholm for Celtics fans is that he himself is a lifelong fan of the team. This matters because the fanbase will obviously want an owner who understands the history and culture of this storied franchise, and after their championship in the 2024 season, there's a belief that this team can make a run to establish themselves as a dynasty. An owner who is completely bought into the team and understands what the fans want and what the organization needs, will go a long way in maintaining success year in and year out.
