Joslin President and CEO
 Ranch C. Kimball is President and Chief Executive Officer of Joslin Diabetes Center, the world’s preeminent diabetes research and clinical care organization. As Joslin’s seventh president and first business executive to hold these roles, Kimball sets the strategic direction and is focused on expanding the impact of Joslin on the healthcare epidemic of our time.
Kimball joined Joslin in February 2007 after serving as the Secretary of Economic Development under Governor Mitt Romney for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In this role he oversaw 22 agencies, four cabinet secretaries, more than 2,500 employees and a $2 billion total budget.
Kimball has spent 25 years in the private sector helping businesses grow and is widely respected in the business community, with Boston Mayor Thomas Menino calling Kimball “one of the city's most respected and well-known business leaders.” A member of the Board of the Massachusetts Business Roundtable, he ran a private equity firm for Kissinger McLarty Associates and was a partner at Boston Consulting Group, working extensively with technology, telecommunications, manufacturing, media and healthcare companies. Jack Connors, Chairman of Hill Holliday and Chairman of Partners Healthcare, has said of him, “Kimball offers expertise in leadership, life sciences and a demonstrated ability to build relationships between legislative, business and academic communities.”
While in state government, Kimball led major reforms in improving Massachusetts’ economic development and achieved a long record of legislative success. Kimball created the “Business Resource Team,” the state’s one-stop model for businesses seeking to grow in Massachusetts. In June 2006, the BRT celebrated its most significant victory, bringing Bristol Myers Squibb’s billion dollar bio-manufacturing plant to Fort Devens. Kimball also helped write the Governor’s Economic Stimulus Bill, took a role in promoting the Governor’s healthcare reform package and toured more than 250 companies.
Kimball has a demonstrated ability to build strong connections between state government, business and academic organizations for the purpose of finding new and innovative support for biomedical research. Susan Hockfield, Ph.D., President, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has said, “Ranch brings not only extensive experience in management and public policy but also a deep understanding of the role that medicine plays in our lives, society, and economy.” In 2006, Kimball received the Biotech Industry Organization’s award for top state executive in the nation. The Mass Network Communications Council named Kimball one of its “Policy Makers of the Year” for 2005.
Active in the community, he serves on the boards of Massport, the public authority which manages the airports, seaport and transportation infrastructure in Massachusetts, the John Adams Innovation Institute, the Boston History & Innovation Collaborative, Museum of Fine Arts, WGBH-TV, the Museum of Science, Wheelock College and Volunteers of America.
Kimball received an A.B. in Economics from Princeton University.
