Executive Leadership Breakfast

The keynote speaker for the Executive Leadership Breakfast this year is Peter D. Banko, President and CEO of Baystate Health.  Peter is leading Baystate Health through an exciting new era of healthy growth – in business and in community. As President and CEO, he is uprooting stagnant thinking by leading transformation with both passion and purpose. He teaches, supports, and lifts up those around him, helping them each define and more fully live their missions to impact the world. This has created a connected ecosystem of 13,000 caregivers, who individually and together are now on a mission to redefine health and health care.

Peter has a bachelor’s degree in business administration from the University of Notre Dame and a master’s degree in health administration from Cornell University. He and his wife, Elizabeth, have been married for 31 years and have four children.  The entire family has a strong commitment to promoting human dignity, the common good, and solidarity with the marginalized through community service, philanthropy, and governance.
