Ray Leach

President & CFO

Why are you bullish on Ohio?

Ohio’s economic momentum is increasing as global supply chains evolve and companies seek places with the resources needed to scale and succeed. Ohio, along with the companies and projects in Ohio, is in a great position to thrive and win.

What unique perspective or experience do you bring to The O.H.I.O. Fund?

Having served as the founding CEO of JumpStart and partnering with thousands of Ohio public, private, philanthropic, and institutional leaders over the last 20 years, I can help create The O.H.I.O. Fund®, which can generate significant financial returns for its investors while enabling Ohio’s private sector to be a force-multiplier for economic growth and opportunity in Ohio.

How do you see The O.H.I.O. Fund Impacting Ohio’s future?

The O.H.I.O. Fund will create a robust, across-Ohio, private-sector-led investing engine powered by its network of capital, expertise, and access to other game-changing relationships and resources that will generate significant financial returns, dramatically strengthen Ohio’s economy, and create compelling economic opportunities for more Ohioans.
