Robert Kraft is Founder, Chairman and CEO of the Kraft Group. He launched his career in the paper and packaging industry with Rand-Whitney Group, Inc. and under his leadership, the Kraft Group’s paper and packaging division has grown into one of the largest independent, privately-owned paper and packaging company in America.

Kraft purchased the New England Patriots in 1994, advancing to the Super Bowl an unprecedented 10 times and bringing six Super Bowl championships home to New England, the most in NFL history. In 1995, Kraft became one of three principal investors in Major League Soccer (MLS) when he founded the New England Revolution.

The Kraft Group also maintains an active portfolio of venture and private-equity investments and maintains its own construction and real estate development team.

Kraft and his family have consistently donated time, resources, and expertise to a wide range of charities, nonprofits and humanitarian causes, resulting in lifetime giving in excess of $900 million. Kraft established the Foundation to Combat Antisemitism in response to the growing rise in hate across the country and has committed over $125 million to support the Foundation. FCAS has recently launched the national Blue Square campaign reaching millions of Americans and encouraging them to stand up to Jewish hate and all hate. In 2019, Kraft became a founding partner in creating the REFORM Alliance, a foundation focused on American criminal justice reform.
