William Chisholm, co-founder of Symphony Technology Group, has reached an agreement to acquire the Boston Celtics from the Grousbeck family, a transaction confirmed by the team in a press release on Thursday.
A native of Georgetown, Massachusetts, Chisholm is a graduate of Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire.
This historic sale surpasses the NBA’s previous record for the highest-priced team acquisition.
“Growing up on the North Shore and attending college in New England, I have been a die-hard Celtics fan my entire life. I understand how important the Celtics are to the city of Boston – the role the team plays in the community is different than any other city in the country. I also understand that there is a responsibility as a leader of the organization to the people of Boston, and I am up for this challenge,” Chisholm said in a statement.
