Elliot Grainge, the CEO of Atlantic Music Group and a Northeastern graduate, will be the speaker at the university’s 2025 undergraduate commencement.
The ceremony will take place at 4 p.m. on Sunday, May 11, at Fenway Park in Boston.
Atlantic played a pivotal role in the careers of such acclaimed artists as Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles and Led Zeppelin, and more recently Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars and Charli xcx.
After establishing his powerhouse indie label 10K Projects, Grainge was tapped, at just 30 years old, to lead Atlantic Music Group’s next chapter.
“Returning to Northeastern to speak at commencement is really meaningful to me,” Grainge said. “This university and my experience in Boston in general helped shape not only the way I think about business and creativity but helped me build a foundation as an independent thinker and entrepreneur.”
“I’m so excited to share my experience with the Class of 2025 and encourage them to trust their own vision as they move on to the next chapter of their lives.”
