The Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health has welcomed Brad Geier, board chair of Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford, to its Board of Directors.
Geier joined the Foundation’s board on Jan. 1 as an ex officio member, reflecting his leadership position at Packard Children’s Hospital, which also began on Jan. 1. He was elected to the hospital board in January 2020.
A well-respected figure in the real estate investment sector, Geier is a founder, co-owner, and co-managing partner of Merlone Geier Partners. His career includes notable senior leadership positions at Trammell Crow Company and the Taubman Company.
“Brad brings a combination of thoughtful leadership, board experience, and a strong commitment to Stanford and Packard Children’s Hospital,” says Susan Ford Dorsey, board chair of the Foundation. “He understands what it takes to build resilient, mission-driven organizations, and his dedication to giving back will be a real asset to the Foundation as we raise funds to support children and families in our community.”
Geier and his wife, Cathy, are longtime supporters of Packard Children’s Hospital. They recently made a gift to support the transformation of the hospital’s West Building, to enhance care of mothers and babies.
Geier has deep ties to Stanford University, where he earned an undergraduate degree in history and served on the university’s board of trustees. He is an active member of the Stanford community, serving in various leadership and volunteer roles, including participating on the Bing Overseas Studies Program Advisory Council and serving as co-chair of the Parents’ Advisory Board. His contributions have earned him the prestigious Stanford Associates Governors’ Award for exemplary volunteer service.
Geier, who earned an MBA from Harvard Business School, also takes an active role in other educational and advisory boards. He participates as a member of the Policy Advisory Board of the Burnham-Moores Center for Real Estate at the University of San Diego, is a director of Positive Coaching Alliance, and is a past board president and lifetime trustee of The Bishop’s School in La Jolla, California.
