Connecticut Children’s Foundation names new president

The Connecticut Children’s Medical Center Foundation has named David Kinahan as its new president, effective Jan. 18.

Kinahan brings 25 years of development, volunteer and management experience spanning health care, academia and research-based organizations. He most recently served as the vice president of development at Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans for the past five years.

Accomplishments there included representing and advocating for the interests of the School of Medicine as Tulane rebuilt its development office in preparation for the institution’s first $1 billion campaign, according to a CCMC news release.

Prior to his work at Tulane, Kinahan also served as the director of individual giving and annual support at Boston Children’s Hospital and as director of major and planned giving at the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston.

“In order to thrive as a children’s hospital, a strong and healthy relationship with the philanthropic community is critical,” James E. Shmerling, CCMC president and CEO, said in the release. “Since our inception 20 years ago, Connecticut Children’s donors have been generous supporters of our mission and we are excited to have David in position to further enhance these efforts.”

Kinahan is a native of Connecticut, born and raised in Stamford.
