  • What I think should be changed (include citations): Please consider expanding the article to provide updated information.

Consider expanding the first line to note that Joseph held executive positions, including CEO and Chairman of the Board, at Aramark Corporation from 1979 until his retirement in 2015.[1] [2]

Please consider removing the line "Neubauer is listed at #82 on Fortune's top paid CEO list" (no source, and outdated since he is no longer CEO) and "As CEO he was able to lead Aramark to a successful fiscal year in 2010" in light of the updated figures offered below. Please consider adding the below information to the article:

While at Aramark, Neubauer grew the company's revenues from $2 billion to $13 billion, expanding into a global presence spanning 23 countries and 250,000 employees.[3] [4]

Neubauer currently serves as Chairman of the Board of the Philadelphia Academy of School Leaders, Trustee of the Barnes Foundation (where he served as chairman from 2015-2020) and a founding board member of the Trustees of Calder Gardens.[5] [6] [3] He was previously a Trustee of the University of Chicago for over 30 years, including serving as its chairman (2015-2022); was chairman of the board of the Horatio Alger Association, and a director of Mondelez International, Verizon Communications, Macy's, and Tufts University. [7] [5] [8]

Neubauer was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 2007 and has received numerous awards for his philanthropy and civic service, including the Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy (2025), the Pennsylvania Society’s Gold Medal for Distinguished Achievement (2023), the William Penn Award (2013), and the Philadelphia Award (2012). [1] [5] [3]

EDUCATION

Neubauer received his Bachelor’s Degree from Tufts University and his Master of Business Administration degree from the University of Chicago. [1] He has been awarded honorary doctorates from the University of Chicago and the Technion, and received honorary degrees from Hebrew University, Tufts University, Drexel University, Franklin & Marshall College, and Widener University. [8] [3] [9]

PHILANTHROPY

In 1999, Neubauer and his wife, Jeanette Lerman-Neubauer, established the Neubauer Family Foundation, based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. [10] The Foundation invests in people and data-driven, evidence-based initiatives intended to achieve transformational impact, and is known for its strategic investments in education, community safety, arts and culture, and opportunities for Arab-Israeli scientists. [10][11] [12]

  • Why it should be changed: The current article is significantly outdated (last updated seemingly in 2013) and does not reflect the scope of Mr. Neubauer's career, ongoing community investment or philanthropy.
