P. David Bramble, managing partner and co-founder of MCB Real Estate, has been named chair of the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center Board of Trustees, effective January 2026. A member of the board since 2021, he was elected to serve as vice chair in 2025.

Mr. Bramble has made significant contributions to real estate, the Baltimore community, and the broader business landscape. He has driven transformative development projects such as Yard 56, Reservoir Square and Harborplace, strengthening Baltimore communities while promoting economic growth.

Beyond his professional achievements, Mr. Bramble actively contributes to nonprofit, civic and cultural organizations. He serves as chair of Lendistry, is on the investment committee and board of the Robert W. Deutsch Foundation, and holds leadership positions with Ronald McDonald House, UPENN Institute for Urban Research, Baltimore Tree Trust, the Abell Foundation, and the Greater Baltimore Committee, among others. 

Mr. Bramble’s leadership and vision have earned wide recognition. Last year alone, he was named one of Maryland’s 100 Most Influential Leaders by The Daily Record, received the Anthony Overton Entrepreneur Trailblazer Award, the Reginald Lewis Titan Award, the MET Gala Community Impact Award and Loyola University Maryland’s Business Leader of the Year Award. His deeply rooted commitment to improving lives and building community connections in the city of Baltimore makes him the ideal candidate to lead the historic Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center into its next chapter.

Mr. Bramble succeeds Charles P. Scheeler, who served as chair since 2018.
