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. (press conf link).

Currently, Josh is the Managing Director at Yale Ventures, Senior Associate Provost for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Yale University, Member of Boards at ClimateHaven, Connecticut Innovations, BioCT, AdvanceCT, and Guilford Savings Bank.
