The Celtics’ ownership group has agreed to sell the franchise to a consortium led by William Chisholm, managing director and co-founder of Symphony Technology Group, for $6.1 billion.
Chisholm is a Dartmouth College graduate and a native of Georgetown. He co-founded the California-based STG in 2002.
Chisholm played soccer at Dartmouth — his son, Will, attended his father’s alma mater and played soccer from the Big Green from 2016-19 — and graduated in 1991. Chisholm received his MBA from the Wharton School, the acclaimed business school at the University of Pennsylvania.
According to the Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach, Chisholm is a lifelong Celtics fan with an “encyclopedic knowledge” of the team.
