Ron Huberman is an American private equity manager and entrepreneur. He moved to the private sector following almost two decades in public service for the city of Chicago. He is the former chief executive officer and superintendent of Chicago Public Schools (2009-2010), the third-largest school system in the United States. In that role, he oversaw a system of 675 schools and more than 400,000 students with a budget of upwards $6 billion. Prior to heading to CPS, Huberman served as president of the Chicago Transit Authority. He also headed the city’s Office of Emergency Management and Communications, bringing rapid change to that agency following the September 11 attacks on America.
Born in Tel Aviv, Israel, in 1971, Huberman is the son of Holocaust survivors. He and his family moved to Oak Ridge, Tenn., when his father, a cancer researcher, began working at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Huberman attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison, graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in psychology and English in 1994. After graduation, he joined the Chicago Police Department where he initially served as a beat officer. While working full-time as a Chicago police officer, Huberman attended night classes at the University of Chicago and earned two advanced degrees in 2000, a Master of Social Work from the School of Social Service Administration and a Master of Business Administration from the university’s Graduate School of Business (now the Booth School of Business). Huberman was a recipient of The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans and an Albert Schweitzer Fellow while attending the University of Chicago.
