About

 

Frank Giordano is President and Chief Executive Officer of The Philly POPS, America’s largest stand-alone pops orchestra.

Since joining the POPS in 2011, Mr. Giordano created a for-profit strategy for a struggling non-profit. He’s taken the POPS into unchartered waters with a bright future in a record period of time. He has led the organization to unprecedented success in ticket sales, contributed revenue, community engagement and programming.

POPS engagement activities reach large and growing audiences, primarily through its signature Salute Series, a set of free concerts performed on holidays of civic celebration in honor of the service community, as well as an expanding supplemental music education program for the School District of Philadelphia, POPS in Schools, which reaches 2,000 students.

Mr. Giordano’s comprehensive history of philanthropy has included leadership roles on many non-profit Boards and personal support of many iconic Philadelphia-area institutions. Many of his efforts have benefited underserved constituencies.

He has served as Chairman of Goodwill Industries of Southern New Jersey and Philadelphia. The Frank and Dottie Giordano Responsibility Scholarship financially supports working Rutgers Camden students while they gain business experience in unpaid internships. As Chairman of the Abraham Lincoln Foundation, he raised $10 million to open the Sir John Templeton Heritage Center. The Center provides the public with access to the Union League’s substantial archive of significant historic material.

Mr. Giordano has received many honors and awards for his work, including the prestigious Order of the Merit of the Italian Republic by the Ambassador of Italy, the Philadelphia Business Hall of Fame Award, the Philadelphia Music Alliance’s inaugural Platinum Award, and a City Council of Philadelphia Citation.

Mr. Giordano is Executive Director of the United States Semiquincentennial Commission. He is also the Honorary Consul of Malta for Pennsylvania. He was appointed by the President of the United States to the President’s Advisory Committee on the Arts of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Mr. Giordano is also President and CEO of Atlantic Trailer Leasing Corporation, a transportation and storage equipment company that has been in the Giordano family since 1949.

Mr. Giordano is a graduate of Rutgers University and resides with his wife Dottie in Moorestown, New Jersey.
