President and CEO
Medical College of Wisconsin | Wauwatosa
Dr. John Raymond Sr. leads the state’s only private medical school and the metro Milwaukee area’s seventh largest private employer. The Medical College of Wisconsin has expanded under Raymond’s leadership, opening regional campuses in Wausau and De Pere, and growing its footprint on its home campus in Wauwatosa. Raymond became a household name during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, when he provided daily virtual briefings in partnership with the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce to keep area business executives informed of the virus’ spread.
