Massad Fares Boulos (Arabic: مسعد بولس; born 1971)[3] is a Lebanese-born American businessman and a senior advisor to the president of the United States, serving along with Elon Musk.[4] He is the father of Michael Boulos and the father-in-law of Trump's daughter Tiffany. He supported Trump's successful presidential campaign in the 2024 presidential election, and campaigned for Trump in Arab American communities, particularly in Michigan.[4][5]
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 an Arab and Middle Eastern Affairs advisor,[6][8] in April 2025, Boulos was also appointed as Senior Advisor for Africa.[9][10]
