01/31/2014Former Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner was the keynote speaker for the TMA Chicago/Midwest Chapter’s Executive Speaker Forum on November 18. This year, the chapter’s annual premier event was held at the trendy Sheraton Aqua Blu in downtown Chicago and drew a record audience of 600.
Geithner, introduced by Aaron Hammer by his Secret Service code name of “Fencing Master,” was a timely and high profile keynote, having served as head of the New York Federal Reserve Bank and as Treasury Secretary until early 2013, and having just announced his new job at Warburg Pincus prior to the program. In his remarks in a Q&A session moderated by David Snyder, publisher of Crain’s Chicago Business, Geithner touched on a wide range of topics covering his tenure in the cabinet, the financial crisis, his personal background, and the current economic situation.
