So no one in America is better prepared to lead the Federal Reserve than Kevin Warsh.
Kevin received a degree in public policy from Stanford University and then earned a JD from
Harvard Law School. He studied under the renowned economist Milton Friedman and was mentored by the
legendary Secretary of the Treasury and Secretary of State George Shultz. All legendary names,
really. Kevin has worked at the highest levels of the financial world as an executive in the
private sector. He did very well, and he served at the highest reaches of government as a senior
economic advisor in the White House. At the age of 35, he became the youngest ever Federal Reserve
governor. For the past 15 years, Kevin has been a fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution,
and his credentials really are second to none when you hear them, and there's plenty more.
I know that Kevin has the deepest respect and reverence for the institution he will lead,
starting today. I want Kevin to be totally independent. I want him to be independent
and just do a great job. Don't look at me. Don't look at anybody. Just
do your own thing and do a great job.
