Wycliffe K. Grousbeck (born June 13, 1961) is an American entrepreneur who is the majority owner and governor of the National Basketball Association 's Boston Celtics .[2] [3]
Early life and education [ edit ]
Grousbeck was born in Worcester, Massachusetts and graduated from Noble and Greenough School in Dedham, Massachusetts . He attended Princeton University , B.A. in history in 1983, and rowed on the 1983 undefeated lightweight crew team that claimed the Ivy League and National rowing championship. He received a J.D. degree from the University of Michigan in 1986 and an M.B.A. in 1992 (Miller Scholar) from the Stanford Graduate School of Business .[4]
After spending seven years as a partner at the venture capital firm, Highland Capital Partners , Grousbeck founded and led the group, Boston Basketball Partners L.L.C. , that bought the Boston Celtics for $360 million in 2002.[2] In 2008, the Celtics won their 17th NBA Championship and their 18th Championship on June 17, 2024 after beating the Dallas Mavericks in 5 games.[5]
In 2010, Grousbeck became Chairman of the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary (MEE), a research and clinical hospital specializing in blindness and deafness research.[6] He instituted and led a capital campaign that raised $250 million for MEE, and led them to join Mass General Brigham medical system.[7] [8] In 2013, Grousbeck co-founded Causeway Media Partners, LP, a growth equity partnership managing over $330 million, investing in sports technology and media companies such as Omaze, Inc ., Zwift , FloSports , Freeletics, Formula E Racing, and SeatGeek .[9]
Personal life [ edit ]
Grousbeck married Emilia Fazzalari in 2017.[10] The couple joined with fellow NBA owners Michael Jordan , Jeanie Buss and Wes Edens to fund Cincoro Tequila, which launched in September 2019.[11]
In 2022, Princeton University opened a new dormitory, Grousbeck Hall, which was funded through a donation from the Grousbeck family.[7] [12]
The 2023 NBC sitcom Extended Family is loosely based on Grousbeck, his wife, and her ex-husband (a lifelong Celtics fan).[13]
