Speaker Spotlight: Philipp Hildebrand
Not only is PHILLIP HILDEBRAND "a thinker and strategist," according to the Financial Times, but "many economists and policymakers argue that his bold moves and non-bureaucratic mindset are just what is needed amid the economic turmoil." Currently Vice Chairman of BlackRock Inc., and former Chairman of the Governing Board of the Swiss National Bank(2010-12) as well as Swiss Governor of the International Monetary Fund, Hildebrand offers illuminating insights on the risks and opportunities of the global economy, and the future of the the Eurozone and global banking.
While at the Swiss National Bank, Hildebrand was a strong advocate of the bank’s policy of capping the franc against the euro. He was also one of the first western central bankers to publicly demand tougher capital standards for banks in 2007, before the Lehman Brothers crisis in 2008. During the financial crisis, Hildebrand played a prominent international role as a member of the Financial Stability Board (FSB) and as the Swiss Governor of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Hildebrand's clear, prescient analysis has him in-demand everywhere from Bloomberg to the World Economic Forum. Rave reviews from his engagements include: "Thank you for your important contribution to this year's Summit. We have received overwhelmingly positive feedback from our guests on your presentation."
