Bernard T. Ferrari is a director in McKinsey & Company's New York office, where he is the leader of the North American Corporate Finance and Strategy Practice and former co-leader of the Health Care Practice. Dr. Ferrari received an A.B. from the University of Rochester in 1970 and an M.D. from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry in 1974. After working as a surgeon and chief operating officer at the Ochsner Clinic in New Orleans for several years, he returned to school to earn a J.D., magna cum laude, from Loyola University in 1985 and an M.B.A. from the Tulane University School of Business in 1986. He joined McKinsey in 1989.First introduced to Juilliard through trustee Ken Davidson, Dr. Ferrari became involved with the School when he moved to New York from Los Angeles and was "looking for ways to become involved in the community." His goals as a new trustee are to "ensure that the School has the resources necessary to execute its mission—not just the financial resources, but those having to do with providing an environment that's simultaneously nurturing and challenging," and to encourage Juilliard to be "a place that takes thoughtful risks" and has "the ability to be surprised and the courage to experiment—attributes of successful individuals as well as institutions." Modestly describing himself as "a terrible musician," Dr. Ferrari intermittently studies the piano and says that his ambition is "to become a saloon pianist." He is married to Linda Ferrari.
