About Me

Focused on tax avoidance and cash flow, they acquired more than three dozen companies and turned Danaher into a diversified firm. Rales serves as chairman of the board at Danaher, which had around $24 billion in sales in 2024. In 2021, he and his brother each transferred Danaher shares worth more than $1.5 billion to their charitable foundations. In 2023, Rales purchased an additional 15% stake in the NBA's Indiana Pacers; he now owns 20% of the franchise.
