He received his MBA from George Washington in 2005.

“It is a great honor to join Georgetown and I am looking forward to helping advance the university’s mission.”
Green lives with his wife, Therese, and their four children in Ashburn, Virginia.
All four children attend St. Theresa Catholic School, where their mother is the school’s technology instructor.
