Steve Koch
Our Board
Steve Koch
Koch spent 27 years at Credit Suisse, living and working in Chicago since 1986. During his tenure at CS, he held a number of senior leadership roles in the Mergers and Acquisitions and the Investment Banking Department. In his distinguished career, Steve has advised on landmark transactions across a broad range of industries that together comprise more than $1 trillion worth of transactions. Koch has also long had a deep interest in service to the larger community. Among other community involvement, he serves as Chairman of the Board of both the Sinai Health System of Chicago and the Greater Chicago Food Depository; Co-Chairman of the Green Ribbon Committee on Sustainability and Climate Change of Chicago; and as a life trustee of the Francis Parker School. He helped develop and teaches in the Director’s Consortium, a seminar sponsored by Dartmouth, the University of Chicago and Stanford Business Schools that trains corporate directors and serves as a Presidential appointee to the Independent Advisory Panel of the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board.
He joined the City of Chicago at Deputy Mayor in the Fall of 2012 and served in that role for five years. In that role, Koch played a key role in rebuilding Chicago’s finances and boosting its post-recession economy. He quarter-backed the city’s enormous success pulling in corporate headquarters and adding jobs and led plans for the city to spend billions revitalizing its infrastructure, particularly the CTA.
