Co-founder of Allegis Group, a global staffing and recruitment company, known for building a billion-dollar business empire.
As the current majority owner of the Baltimore Ravens, Steve Bisciotti has left an indelible mark on the National Football League (NFL). But his impact goes beyond the gridiron, as the founder of Aerotek and co-founder of Allegis Group, making him a titan in the staffing and recruiting industry.
Born on April 10, 1960, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Bisciotti grew up in a middle-class Italian-American family. After his father's passing in 1968, his maternal grandfather, C. Gordon Johnston, played a significant role in supporting the family. Bisciotti attended the Severn School before transferring to Severna Park High School, where he developed a passion for sports, playing football, baseball, and basketball.
He graduated from Salisbury State University in Maryland with a degree in liberal arts in 1982. This laid the foundation for his future entrepreneurial ventures.
At the age of 23, Bisciotti co-founded Aerotek, a staffing company focused on the aerospace and technology sectors, with his cousin Jim Davis. Starting from a humble basement office with second-hand equipment, the duo generated $1.5 million in sales in their first year. Aerotek's success led to the creation of Allegis Group, which has since become the largest privately held staffing firm in the world.
In 2004, Bisciotti purchased a minority stake in the Baltimore Ravens, eventually becoming the majority owner in 2011. Under his leadership, the team has won two Super Bowl championships and has been a consistent playoff contender.
Bisciotti's philanthropic efforts have also made a significant impact in the Baltimore community. The Ravens' organization has been involved in various charitable initiatives, including the Baltimore Ravens Foundation, which supports education, health, and family programs.
Bisciotti's journey to success has not been without its challenges. He has spoken publicly about the lessons learned from his father's passing and the importance of family in his life.
On a personal front, Bisciotti has been married to his wife, Renee, for over 30 years, and they have two sons, Jason and Jack.
Bisciotti's influence extends beyond the sports and staffing industries. His commitment to philanthropy and community development has inspired a new generation of entrepreneurs and business leaders.
Through his work with the Baltimore Ravens, Bisciotti has also played a significant role in promoting diversity and inclusion in the NFL, advocating for greater representation and opportunities for underrepresented groups.
Bisciotti has received numerous accolades for his business acumen and philanthropic efforts, including the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award and the National Italian American Foundation's Special Achievement Award in Business.
His legacy continues to inspire, and his contributions to the world of sports, staffing, and philanthropy will be felt for generations to come.
