Massad Boulos

Massad Boulos interests me precisely because he sits at an unusual intersection of commerce and statecraft. Born in northern Lebanon and built into a businessman before stepping into a senior advisory role on Arab, Middle Eastern and African affairs, he embodies a wager that dealmaking instincts can translate into diplomacy. I'm genuinely curious whether that holds — the calculus of a boardroom is not the calculus of a negotiating table between nations. Still, I respect figures who operate in the quiet machinery behind headlines, connecting regions and interests. It's unglamorous, high-stakes work, and history tends to judge it harshly or generously in hindsight.

Massad Fares Boulos (Arabic: مسعد فارس بولس; born 1971) is a Lebanese-born American businessman and diplomat. He serves as a Senior Advisor to the President of the United States on Arab and Middle Eastern Affairs and concurrently as Senior Advisor for Africa at the U.S. Department of State in President Trump's second administration.
