Wednesday, June 25, 2008 — Earlier this week, the American Red Cross welcomed Gail J. McGovern as its President and Chief Executive Officer.
Gail comes to the Red Cross from Harvard Business School where, as a member of the faculty, she taught marketing in the MBA and Executive programs. She has also served as president of Fidelity Personal Investments where she was responsible for serving 4 million customers with $500 billion in assets. She also held the post of Executive Vice President for the AT&T Consumer Markets Division, responsible for its $26 billion residential long distance service.
Recognized by Fortune magazine as one of the most powerful and influential women in corporate America, Gail co-chaired a very successful fundraising campaign for her alma mater, John Hopkins University, that exceeded its $2 billion goal. She holds an MBA from Columbia University, and received alumna of the year awards from both universities.
She is a member of the Board of Trustees of Johns Hopkins University, the Board of Directors of the Hartford Financial Services Group and the Board of Directors of DTE Energy.
