Meet Mike Minogue
Committed to Faith, Family, and Service
“I’m running to be a new kind of governor - one with the heart to serve and the grit to deliver for Massachusetts.”
— Mike Minogue
From leading soldiers in combat to pioneering the field of heart recovery, Mike Minogue has spent his life serving others. A Christian, husband, and father of five, he’s committed to serve Massachusetts with integrity and heart.
Growing Up
Raised as the youngest of four in an Irish Catholic family, Mike chose to attend the United States Military Academy at West Point, driven by a sense of service and patriotism instilled in him by his parents.
Service
After graduating from West Point with a B.S. in Engineering Management in 1989, Mike served as an Infantry officer in the U.S. Army, where he earned multiple distinctions including RANGER tab and the Bronze Star for acting as the lead navigator and Platoon Leader for the U.S. Army’s invasion (24th Infantry) into Iraq for Operation Desert Storm in 1991. Upon leaving Active Duty, Mike remained in the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) for nine more years.
Entrepreneur and CEO
Mike was drawn to the medical device industry for its purpose to improve and save the lives of people all over the world. Starting his career at General Electric (GE) HealthCare, he rose through the ranks to ultimately manage multiple businesses with more than 1,000 employees, generate over $1 billion in revenue, and receive 4 patents for software engineering.
After GE, Mike served for nearly 19 years as Chairman, President and CEO of Abiomed, Inc., a Massachusetts-based medical device company headquartered in Danvers, MA since 1981. Under Mike’s leadership, the company created the field of heart recovery through the development of Impella®, the world’s smallest heart pump and became a cornerstone of the Massachusetts life sciences ecosystem by driving local job creation and expanding manufacturing and research operations in the state.
