About Me

Jim Davis bought a small Boston shoemaker in 1972 and turned it into $9.2 billion (2025 sales) New Balance. Davis is the chairman of New Balance, and his wife Anne, who joined the company in 1977, is the vice chairman. Davis and his family own an estimated 95% of the privately held company. New Balance is known for its running shoes but also makes footwear, clothing and equipment for baseball, lacrosse, and soccer, as well as lifestyle fashion. He got his start working for his father's restaurants as a "lumper" carrying trays. He studied biology and chemistry in college, thinking he would work in medicine, until one of his professors suggested his talent might be in sales.
