Courtney Jacobovits

Courtney Jacobovits has a deep love for people and culture. Art—expressions of what communities deem worthy of exploration, documentation, and/or celebration—has provided a refuge through which she has frequently found relief as well as a deeper understanding of the world. A wealth advisor at Goldman Sachs, Courtney is also an urban planner by training. She previously served as the Senior Urban Planner for the neighborhoods of Roxbury, Mattapan, Back Bay with the Boston Planning & Development Agency and later as the city’s Director of Cultural Planning within the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture. Courtney is an undergraduate alumna of Northwestern University. She earned her Masters in Urban Planning from the Harvard Graduate School of Design and MBA from the MIT Sloan School of Management. She also serves on the Board of Governors for the Harvard Club of Boston and in her free time enjoys reading, eating, and traveling.
