Fred Philip Hochberg (born February 3, 1952)[3][4] 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.[5]
He was initially appointed in January 2009 and confirmed in May 2009. He was re-nominated in March 2013[6] and confirmed for a second term in July 2013.[7] He served as a member of the Presidential transition of Barack Obama. From 2004 to 2008 he served as dean of the Milano School of International Affairs, Management, and Urban Policy at The New School[8] and as deputy and then acting administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA) in the Clinton Administration.[9] Hochberg was one of the highest-ranking LGBTQ officials in the Obama Administration[10] and has been active for decades in LGBTQ causes. In the 1990s Hochberg served as co-chair of the board of the Human Rights Campaign,[11] the largest LGBTQ civil rights advocacy organization in the United States. In January 2020, Simon & Schuster published Hochberg's first book, Trade is Not a Four-Letter Word.
As of 2023, Hochberg serves as chair of the Meridian International Center's board of trustees.[12]
