Chief Change OfficerAbout this episode
Would you ever consider leaving a secure and high-ranking position as a CFO at IBM Europe to join a startup in Connecticut as merely the 16th employee? Josh Geballe, took that exact leap, moving away from the corporate security he knew to embrace the thrills and challenges of a startup, guided by what he describes as his "gut feeling.” A former campaign manager for the US Representative Rosa DeLauro , New Haven-based Josh has crafted a 30-year progressive journey centered on two main themes: impact and challenge. Previously, he served as Vice President of Finance, Global Technology Services at IBM Europe, CEO of Core Informatics , Vice President and General Manager at Thermo Fisher Scientific , Chairman of the Board at CT Paid Leave , COO at the Office of the Governor in the State of Connecticut, and the Commissioner at the Connecticut Department of Administrative Services . As the COO during Connecticut’s COVID-19 health response, Josh faced a public health crisis of unprecedented scale, the likes of which no MBA curriculum could ever anticipate or equip its students to handle.
