Tim Francis was born into a world where ideas, influence, and ambition converged. Raised in New Orleans, the son of Dr. Norman C. Francis, recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom and legendary president of Xavier University.
By his twenties, Tim was shaping policy at the highest levels, working for the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Later, as a lawyer, he began advising U.S. Senators and mayors on legal and governance matters. From there, he leapt seamlessly into the world of entertainment and global advocacy, serving as COO of Stevie Wonder Enterprises and later helping, alongside U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Stevie Wonder, to secure an international treaty that transformed access to information for people with visual impairments.
Tim’s creative pursuits have been just as ambitious. With a first-look writing deal at Sony Pictures, he has built a career at the intersection of storytelling and social impact. Today, he serves as an Executive Producer and Creator of a forthcoming HBO true crime documentary series set in his native New Orleans, blending his love of history, politics, and culture into compelling television.
A strategist, a dealmaker, a storyteller; Tim embodies the rare ability to move seamlessly between worlds. Whether shaping policy, driving cultural change, or crafting narratives that captivate audiences, his career reflects a single throughline: an unrelenting belief that no challenge is insurmountable.
