The Biden administration has nominated economist Stephanie Segal for the post of alternate executive director at the International Monetary Fund.
She was previously a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, where her work focused on economic competitiveness, U.S.-China economic relations, and the role of international financial institutions.
Alternate executive directors of the IMF sit on the organization’s executive board, which is responsible for conducting day-to-day business. The board is elected by member countries or by groups of member countries.
Prior to this, Segal held the role of co-director of the East Asia Office at the U.S. Department of Treasury, and before that she was a senior economist at the International Monetary Fund. Earlier in her career, she was an analyst and associate for M&A at J.P. Morgan in New York.
She must now be confirmed in the role by the United States Senate, which is required to approve certain appointments made by the U.S. president.
