Francis Racioppi Biography

Francis Racioppi Jr. is a former U.S. Army Special Forces Green Beret, entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and media personality whose career spans military service and civilian leadership. Racioppi graduated with honors from Boston University with a degree in journalism and a minor in political science. Influenced by the events of 9/11 during his college years, he chose to join the United States Army after graduation, initially serving as a Ranger-qualified infantry officer and later as a Green Beret in the Army Special Forces.

Racioppi spent 13 years in the United States Army, deploying to the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. He was the honor graduate of both the Special Forces Qualification Course and U.S. Army Ranger School. He also completed the U.S. Army Airborne School, Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape, the Reconnaissance and Surveillance Leader's Course, and several special operations certifications. During his service in Africa, Racioppi assessed and developed local forces into special operations units to counter terrorism. He received multiple military decorations for his service.

Transitioning to the private sector, Racioppi applied his operational expertise to roles in global security and business leadership. He served as director of global security for Snapchat, where he scaled the security organization internationally and received recognition from the FBI and Department of Homeland Security. He later led Genius Fund as chief executive and chief operating officer, overseeing operations in the cannabis industry. Racioppi holds an MBA from NYU Leonard N. Stern School of Business and maintains certifications including Certified Protection Professional, Certified Business Continuity Professional, and Lean Six Sigma Black Belt.

Racioppi is the founder and CEO of FRsix, leading operations in critical infrastructure projects and providing security operations and training services to public and private sector clients, including government partnerships. He advises small and medium-sized businesses on leadership and operational transformation, emphasizing continuous improvement and a talent-focused approach. Racioppi has spoken openly about the challenges of entrepreneurship, noting that he finds it more demanding than his military service.

As creator and host of "The Jedburgh Podcast," Racioppi interviews leaders and innovators, focusing on nine character traits valued by Special Operations Forces: drive, resiliency, adaptability, humility, integrity, effective intelligence, team ability, curiosity, and emotional strength. He also serves as performance development coach for Boston University Men's Rowing and volunteers with Sailahead, a veterans service organization, where he is race director. Racioppi draws on his experiences in both military and business environments to address topics such as leadership, resilience, security operations, and organizational excellence.
