Boulos worked as the CEO of SCOA Nigeria PLC,[6][7] a trucking and heavy machinery dealership company and subsidiary of the Fadoul Groupe in Nigeria. He rose to prominence in 2018 when his son began to date Tiffany Trump. While he was originally announced in December 2024 as a Arab and Middle Eastern Affairs advisor,[6][8] in April 2025, Boulos was also appointed as Senior Advisor for Africa.[9][10]
Early life
editBoulos was born to Fares and Marie-Therese in Kfaraakka, Koura, Lebanon.[11][12] He is the eldest of four siblings, Vivian, Philip and Michel. His father Fares Boulos served as mayor of Kfaraakka from 1998 to 2010.[13] They are Lebanese Greek Orthodox Christian (Boulos' surname meaning the apostle "Paul" in Arabic).
He moved to Texas as a teenager.[6] He graduated in 1993 from University of Houston–Downtown with a bachelor of business administration degree.[6][8] Boulos also holds a Juris Doctor degree from the Thurgood Marshall School of Law at Texas Southern University.[14] He was described by President Donald Trump as "an accomplished lawyer", however, he applied to take the bar exam in Texas in 1996 but there is no evidence of his admission or that he actively worked as a lawyer in the United States or abroad.[6][8]
Career
editIn business
editAfter completing his education, Boulos moved to Nigeria and became the CEO of SCOA Nigeria PLC.[6][7] SCOA is a trucking and heavy machinery dealership that operates as part of the Fadoul Groupe, a business conglomerate based in West Africa.[15]
After Trump's announcement that he would appoint Boulos as a presidential advisor (see § US politics), he was subject to scrutiny by some media outlets regarding his business record and public profile.[16]
Media outlets initially described SCOA as a "multi-billion dollar conglomerate".[17][18] A NYT article asserted discrepancies between this description and its documented business background.[19] As reported by the NYT, the company' shares trade for about two Nigerian naira, roughly a tenth of a US cent, a penny stock with a market capitalization worth about $865,000 as of 2024.[6][8] Boulos’s holds a minority share of $1.53 according to the company's latest annual report.[6][8] When asked to confirm the multibillion-dollar valuation of his company, he said that describing it as "multibillion dollar" company was accurate, that "it's a big company" and that he referred to the Fadoul Groupe's companies, collectively worth more than $1 billion. He further added that "I've never gone into any details like that about the value".[6]
Several reports misidentified Massad Boulos as the owner of Boulos Enterprises[20][21] owned by another family of the same name.[6][8][22] He confirmed to the NYT that he had no relationship with Boulos Enterprises, and that he did not correct public reports because he made a practice of not commenting on his businesses.[6]
Following media scrutiny of Boulos' business track record, the Trump-Vance Transition Team and Boulos himself rebuked the accusations, with spokesperson Karoline Leavitt calling the stories "fake news". The Transition Team issued a statement answering to the article published by the Business Insider declaring that: "The truth is Mr. Boulos is a highly respected businessman who has proudly served as the CEO of some of his family's group of companies based in West Africa for more than 27 years and his family has employed tens of thousands of people around the globe".[23] Several Nigerian media outlets published an op-ed penned by Magnus Onyibe, credited as a non-executive independent director at SCOA, echoing Leavitt's press release and describing the company's achievements in Nigeria and West Africa.[24][25][26][27]
Lebanese politics
editBoth his father and grandfather were known figures in Lebanese politics, as his great uncle, Massad, served in Parliament[28] and his father, Fares, served as Mayor of Kfarkaara.[29] Boulos is acquainted with Christian politicians and parties in Lebanon from Suleiman Frangieh of the Marada Movement, considered aligned with Hezbollah, to the Free Patriotic Movement (FPM) and anti-Hezbollah opposition parties like the Lebanese Forces.[30][31] However, he has mentioned in interviews that he is not affiliated with any party in Lebanon and that he is acquainted with most Lebanese Christian leaders.[32]
According to Century Foundation's analyst Aron Lund, quoting a report in As-Safir, Boulos was a supporter of Michel Aoun's Free Patriotic Movement and represented it in Nigeria, where his father-in-law did business and funded the party's activities.[11][30] When asked about his relation with the FPM, which elected Michel Aoun as president with support from Hezbollah,[11] Boulos said that "as Lebanese Christians, most of us supported President Aoun's calls for Lebanese sovereignty from the late 1980's to the early 2000's (including the United States Congress and administrations); in fact in 2005, he enjoyed the support of close to 80% of Lebanese Christians as well as Muslims."[32] In October 2024, the Free Patriotic Movement declared they were no longer bound by their previous alliance.[33]
AP reported[34] that Boulos initially stood for parliament in Koura, but withdrew for another list involving the FPM, Marada and the communists.[11] In 2009, the FPM shortlisted him, but Aoun eventually chose another candidate.[11] By 2018, he again pledged his support to Marada.[11] He subsequently denied ever running for Parliament.[32]
Lund writes that Boulos' career "does not exactly indicate a firm commitment to either side in Lebanese or regional politics", and that his appointment suggests that Trump's Middle East policy "will often be more readily understood in light of the personalities orbiting Mar-a-Lago [a Trump-owned resort] than through an ideological prism or in terms of U.S. national interest."[11] He also mentioned that Boulos' connections could be highly useful "if Trump were to lean the other way and pursue his isolationist instincts, aiming to deescalate ongoing wars, deconflict with Iran, and scale down the U.S. presence in the region."[11] Analyst Mitchell Plitnick saw Boulos as "a businessman and political opportunist" but that his nomination signaled the administration's willingness to engage with the Palestinians.[35]
US politics
editBoulos has been involved in Republican politics for decades,[36] and worked as a volunteer during George W. Bush's 1994 campaign for governor of Texas.[37] During the 2024 US presidential elections, Boulos campaigned for Trump in Muslim and Arab communities with Bishara Bahbah, who founded Arabs for Trump, and Richard Grenell. He sought to portray Trump as supportive of "global peace", according to Bahbah.[1] In an interview with The Times, he said that "There are 3.5 million Arab Americans, which is a huge number, and they just want their voices to be heard. And Trump has been listening".[38] Despite that, there was criticism over his outreach during some meetings, as some attendees criticized Trump's policies regarding Jerusalem.[38]
Yassin K. Fawaz, a political analyst, credits Boulos as bridging "the gap between Trump's campaign and these communities, ensuring that their concerns were not only heard but acted upon".[39]
Role as Senior Advisor
editBoulos has acted as an intermediary between the Palestinian Authority and its leader, Mahmoud Abbas and Trump.[40]
Boulos was involved in the 2024 Israel-Lebanon ceasefire agreement. While he initially said that the Lebanese Army was fulfilling his duty in "an acceptable manner" regarding its role in the ceasefire,[41] he subsequently explained during an interview for Le Point that "there was an initial misunderstanding, particularly in Lebanon, where it was believed that the ceasefire agreement applied only to the area south of the Litani River".[42] He further clarified his position and reaffirmed the requirement that Hezbollah should disarm applies to the whole of Lebanon, not just areas south of the Litani river.[43][44]
The New Arab quotes Boulos as saying that "the text is very clear in implementing United Nations resolutions, whether Resolution 1701 or 1559".[45] In an interview with MTV News, he asserted that the question of Iranian funding for armed groups, including Hezbollah, was an integral part of the ceasefire agreement.[46]
During negotiations for the current Lebanese government, Boulos was responsible for conveying the message that Hezbollah-allied Amal Movement, should play a less prominent role in the new government.[44]
In a meeting with Yossi Dagan, head of the Samaria Regional Council and activist settler, Boulos said that "in Israel, in Lebanon, and throughout the region, we want and hope for peace, and with God's grace, we will achieve it soon”.[41] His meeting and declarations were criticized by Palestinian advocates as promoting the "normalization" of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank. He also attended an Iftar dinner hosted by the Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Yechiel Leiter. An article published by The Times of Israel noted the absence of representatives from countries that signed the Abraham Accords, as a result of the cool down in public ties between Israel and the signatory countries caused by the 2023 Gaza War.[47]
In March 2025, Semafor reported that Massad Boulos would be appointed Special Envoy for the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Great Lakes Region, reportedly due to American interest in securing a minerals deal.[48] Despite the lack of official confirmation, the move was praised by Kenyan President William Ruto, who said that the nomination showed a commitment to peace and stability in Africa.[49][50]
He was later confirmed as Senior Advisor for Africa, making him the State Department's most senior official to work in the continent. His appointment came after the White House failed three times to fill the position.[51] His appointment was described as part of a pivot in American foreign policy, boosting relations with Africa to curb growing Chinese and Russian influence.[52][53]
His first diplomatic tour saw him travelling to DRC Congo, Rwanda, Kenya and Uganda, accompanied by Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Corina Sanders.[54] Boulos subsequently announced that President Felix Tshisekedi agreed upon a path forward to develop a minerals agreement, allowing private U.S. firms to work in the country[55] and that the United States would use "all diplomatic and economic tools" to advance peace in the region.[56] Three Americans who were imprisoned due to their participation in a failed coup attempt were granted presidential clemency and transferred to fulfill their sentences in the United States, in what was described as a gesture of diplomatic goodwill.[57][58]
Boulos also discussed peace efforts with President Paul Kagame, reiterating the American position that Rwanda should withdraw all troops from Congo and to seize all military support for M23 rebels.[59] Rwandan authorities deny supporting the M23.[60] After a Qatar-brokered truce between the DRC and M23,[61] Boulos and Secretary of State Marco Rubio hosted the Congolese and Rwandan foreign ministers in Washington D.C.[62][63]
He informally met President Bola Tinubu in Paris,[64] and reportedly discussed bilateral relations and investments in Nigeria.[52]
As part of his portfolio, he also announced a proposal to solve the Libyan crisis based on bringing all factions to the negotiation table to end the country's political paralysis.[65] Some questioned if the plan would come to fruition considering previous cuts in the U.S. Department of State's budget and the impact of increased tariffs on Libya-U.S. bilateral trade.[66]
Personal life
editBoulos holds Lebanese, French and American citizenship.[1]
He married Sarah Fadoul Boulos,[8] who was born in Burkina Faso.[67] Circa 1986, she lived in Houston, Texas, and graduated in Biology at Houston Baptist University in 1994.[68][69] In 1996, the couple moved to Lagos, Nigeria[67] and Sarah worked at SCOA Nigeria as the Director of Trading and Logistics.[69]
She is a philanthropist, entrepreneur[69] and dance coach[70] who in 2005 founded the Society for the Performing Arts in Nigeria (SPAN) in a small studio in her garage, gradually increasing its profile in Nigerian society.[71][67][68] Sarah mentions that SPAN has reached more than 10,000 youth since its inception.[72] More recently, she has been a franchisee of Creative Education International (CrEd) Lagos Island. As of 2020 she worked overseeing the imports[72] of her business,[73][69] La Pointe Delicatessen in Victoria Island, Lagos.[68]
Sarah and Massad are devout Christians.[74] Together they have four children, Michael, Fares, Oriane and Sophie.[68][70][75] In 2022, their son Michael married Tiffany Trump, daughter of Donald Trump.[11] Fares is an actor who played a brief non-speaking role in The Crown.[12]
