About David Blitzer

David Blitzer runs the tactical opportunities group at alternative investment giant Blackstone.

In 2011, he joined forces with then Apollo colleague Josh Harris to buy the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers. They later added the NHL's New Jersey Devils and English soccer club Crystal Palace to their holdings.

Blitzer also owns stakes in MLB's Cleveland Guardians, and he retained a minority stake in Real Salt Lake and the Utah Royals after the Miller Sports Group purchased a majority of the team in 2025.

Blitzer joined Harris' ownership group that purchased the NFL's Washington Commanders for $6.05 billion in 2023.

Blitzer graduated magna cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School.
