Mass General Brigham Leads Top 100 Women-Led Businesses in Massachusetts

Mass General Brigham, under the leadership of president and CEO, Anne Klibanski, MD, ranked first on the 2024 Women’s Edge and Globe Magazine’s Top 100 Women-Led Businesses in Massachusetts list. Taken together, the 100 companies on this list represent a total revenue and operating budget of $124 billion. Eight other Mass General Brigham executives were also selected for the recognition.

Appointed to her role in 2019, Dr. Klibanski’s vision for Mass General Brigham is to build the integrated academic health care system of the future with patients at the center, by transforming care, improving outcomes, and expanding impact locally, nationally, and globally. Dr. Klibanski has led clinical integration of services across Mass General Brigham and is responsible for the development of new digital platforms to achieve digital care, including virtual urgent care, to make it easier for patients to access the system’s world-class care. She has overseen increased investment in leading-edge research that has the potential to revolutionize treatments, such as gene and cell therapy, leveraging the system’s $2.4 billion in annual research funding. The system’s innovation team has created more than 300 companies that are making broad impacts on human health, in various spaces — from therapeutics to diagnostics and research. Through her leadership, Mass General Brigham has invested significant resources to community health and has established “United Against Racism,” a long-term multi-year commitment to address the impacts that racism has on Mass General Brigham patients, employees, and the broader community.

Joining Dr. Klibanski on the list were several other Mass General Brigham member leaders:

• Marcela del Carmen, MD, MPH, president, Massachusetts General Hospital and Massachusetts General Physicians Organization, executive vice president, Mass General Brigham;
• Lynn Stofer, president, Mass General Brigham Community Physicians;
• Paula Milone-Nuzzo, PhD, RN, president, MGH Institute of Health Professions;
• Denise Schepici, president and COO, Martha’s Vineyard Hospital;
• Ellen Moloney, president and COO, Newton-Wellesley Hospital;
• Roxanne Ruppel, president and COO, Salem Hospital;
• Heather O’Sullivan, MS, RN, A-GNP, president, Mass General Brigham Healthcare at Home;
• Amy Lee, MBA, MBHA, MJ, FACMPE, president and COO, Nantucket Cottage Hospital.

For each organization, The Women’s Edge, a nonprofit that supports female business leaders, examined 2023 revenue or operating budget as well as other variables, including the number of full-time employees in the state, workplace and management diversity, and innovative projects. The Women’s Edge then ranked organizations according to its own formula. This is the 24th year that The Women’s Edge has created the list and the 12th year that the Globe Magazine has partnered with the group.
