Fox Rothschild congratulates Peter J. Tucci, who was honored by the Philadelphia Chapter of the French-American Chamber of Commerce (FACC) with the 2026 Global Leadership Award.

Tucci, a Board member and Co-Founder of FACC Philadelphia, incorporated the Philadelphia Chapter of the FACC as the founding secretary and board member in 1989. He has served on the board for 37 years and previously served as president for 16 years. The award recognizes his decades of leadership and unwavering commitment to French-American business, historical ties and cultural relations.

Tucci helps lead FACC Philadelphia in its mission to foster a thriving economic relationship between the U.S. and France and to welcome and support French businesses, entrepreneurs and professionals in Pennsylvania, Delaware and Southern New Jersey.

The award was presented at the 36th Annual Fête Gala, which brought together leaders from across the region’s business, diplomatic and international communities. The black-tie gala was held at the Downtown Club in Philadelphia and featured speakers reading citations from French Ambassador Laurent Bili, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker congratulating Tucci.

In 2005, the President of the Republic of France, Jacques Chirac, bestowed upon Tucci the title of Chevalier (Knight) of the French Legion of Honor. The French Legion of Honor, which was established by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1802, recognizes eminent service to the Republic of France and is the country’s most prestigious award.

Tucci serves on numerous boards including the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia, The Pennington School, the Bordentown Historical Society, Washington Crossing Park, and the Andalusia Foundation. He has also served multiple terms as Co-Chair of the International Law Committee of the Philadelphia Bar Association.

Co-Chair of Fox Rothschild’s Mergers & Acquisitions Practice and Chair of its International Practice, Tucci handles a wide variety of corporate matters, both domestic and international.
