A Nigerian Economist to Become Deputy U.S. Treasury Secretary
U.S. President-Elect Joe Biden is expected to name Adewale Adeyemo, a senior international economic adviser in the Obama administration, as Deputy U.S. Treasury secretary.
Mr. Adeyemo, an immigrant from Nigeria, has extensive experience working at the U.S. Treasury Department during the Obama administration, when he was a senior adviser and deputy chief of staff. Mr. Adeyemo was also Mr. Obama’s chief negotiator for the macroeconomic policy provisions of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which Democrats ultimately opposed, and served as the first chief of staff of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. After a two-year stint as a senior adviser at BlackRock, he joined the Obama Foundation in 2019 as its president.
