James King

James King serves on the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation board of directors and spent more than 20 years as an institutional investor focused on public health care companies. He is deeply interested in the complexity and innovation within health care and was first introduced to the foundation through conversations with Minneapolis Heart Institute cardiologists while researching clinical-stage transcatheter aortic heart valves.

His decision to join the MHIF board is also personal, shaped by his mother’s ongoing battle with vascular disease and the loss of his father to a stroke in 2020. James holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin and an MBA from the University of Minnesota.
