Governor Charlie Baker

Commonwealth of Massachusetts

Port Person of the Year

Governor Charlie Baker was inaugurated as the 72nd Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on January 8th, 2015, after several decades of service in both state government and the private sector. Upon taking office in 2015, Governor Baker worked to close two budget gaps of more than $2 billion—without raising taxes. He has supported robust business sectors by reforming the Commonwealth’s regulatory environment, holding the line on taxes, and advancing efforts to rein in energy costs. Governor Baker proposed and signed into law a $1 billion Economic Development bill to strengthen the Massachusetts economy, promote healthy communities, provide workforce training, invest in innovation, and stimulate private sector job creation across the Commonwealth. Over the course of his career, Governor Baker has been a highly successful leader of complex business and government organizations.

As a cabinet secretary under Governors William Weld and Paul Cellucci, Governor Baker helped lead efforts to reform and modernize state government, turn a billion-dollar deficit into a surplus, create a half million jobs, and enact an ambitious education reform agenda. Raised in Needham, Governor Baker attended Massachusetts public schools and is a graduate of Harvard College. He went on to earn a Master’s of Business Administration from the Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University.
