Heidi Crebo-Rediker has held senior leadership positions at the nexus of international markets, macroeconomics, and national security, in government and business, for more than 25 years.

Previously, Heidi served in the Obama Administration as the State Department’s first Chief Economist. She provided strategic advice to two Secretaries of State on the integration of economics and finance with geopolitics to help craft and launch “Economic Statecraft” in the Administration. Her remit encompassed a wide range of foreign policy issues, both crisis-related and longer-term challenges and opportunities with economic drivers. Before this, she served as the Chief of International Finance and Economics for the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
