MARISSA GOLDBERG
Doheny Eye Institute
As CEO of Doheny Eye Institute, Marissa Goldberg has made an indelible mark in vision care throughout the Los Angeles area, and in affiliation with UCLA’s Stein Eye Institute, helps lead Doheny to uphold its mission to further the conservation, improvement and restoration of human eyesight.
During her 30 year career at Doheny, Goldberg has held a variety of roles including human resources director, quality improvement coach, CAO, vice president, COO, and executive director before being named CEO. Through her business guidance, she and the Doheny Board of Directors worked tirelessly to forge a new, powerful alliance and ensure a smooth union between Doheny and UCLA.
Doheny’s affiliation with UCLA Stein Eye Institute combines the strength, reputation and distinction of two of the nation’s top eye institutions. Goldberg is deeply committed to the mission of Doheny Eye Institute. Today, Doheny Eye Institute continues to attract top vision scientists in large part due to Goldberg’s leadership. With her guidance and support, along with her commitment to securing endowments that fund the important work of Doheny, the incredible team of physician scientists continue to make transformative discoveries.
In just the last few years alone, Doheny scientists have developed novel eye imaging equipment and computer-based retinal image analysis, implanted the first successful retinal prosthesis, identified retinal biomarkers for Alzheimer’s Disease and developed multiple animal models of ocular disease, with groundbreaking research continuing every day.
Securing funding is critical to continuing the life-changing research at Doheny, and Goldberg has been instrumental in securing seven-figure gifts through her strong relationships with and networking of area foundations, donors and corporations.
