A tech entrepreneur and director of the investment arm of his family’s business, Pohlad Companies, he is also on the board of MicroStar Logistics and was previously a member of the Citi Private Bank North American Client Advisory Board. The PACA appointment represents one of several influential roles Pohlad plays within the arts ecosystem: he is a trustee at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis and at the Dia Art Foundation in New York and was previously a board co-chair at arts non-profit LAXART in Los Angeles. He is a member of the National Council of the Aspen Art Museum and a member of the Serpentine Americas Foundation. His own collection of contemporary art includes works by Ron Nagle and Lari Pittman.
