Fred Philip Hochberg[1][2] is an American businessman and civic leader. After nearly two decades as an executive, including five years as President at the Lillian Vernon Corporation, he then served in various leadership roles at U.S. government agencies, non-profit organizations, and in academia. From 2009 to 2017, he was Chairman and President of the Export–Import Bank of the United States, becoming the institution's longest-serving Chairman.[3]
He was initially appointed in January 2009 and confirmed in May 2009. He was re-nominated in March 2013[4] and confirmed for a second term in July 2013.[5] H
Hochberg began his business career at the Lillian Vernon Corporation, the company founded by his mother in 1951. As president and chief operating officer, he led the transformation of a small, family-owned mail order company into an international, publicly traded direct marketing corporation.
In 1998 Hochberg was confirmed by unanimous consent of the U.S. Senate and deputy administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA), later becoming the agency's acting administrator. He remained in the post at the SBA until January 2001, serving also on US President Bill Clinton's Management Council.
Following his years in the Clinton administration, he was in December 2003 appointed Dean of the Milano School of International Affairs, Management, and Urban Policy, a post he left in late 2008.
Hochberg was a bundler of contributions for the Obama campaign; some bundlers collected $500,000 for the campaign.[6] In the fall of 2009, Hochberg was named as an Agency Review team leader for the SBA on then-President-elect Barack Obama's transition team.[7]
President Obama formally nominated Hochberg to be Chairman and President of the Export-Import Bank of the United States on April 20, 2009
He has been a member of the boards of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars,[8] New York City's Citizens Budget Commission,[9] and FINCA International. From 2008-2009 he was a member of the Board of Commissioners of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.[10]
