The U.S. Senate has rolled out a series of new appointments, including naming Scott Nathan as CEO of the US International Development Finance Corporation and Reta Jo Lewis as president of the Export-Import Bank of the United States.
Nathan most recently served as a senior adviser to the White House Office of Presidential Personnel after having worked on the Biden-Harris Presidential Transition's Appointments team, according to Holland and Knight. During the Obama-Biden Administration, Nathan served as the special representative for Commercial and Business Affairs at the U.S. Department of State, where he led a team focused on protecting U.S. economic interests abroad and advocating on behalf of American exports.
In his new role, Nathan will be tasked with ensuring that the international development finance priorities of the Biden Administration are reflected in the transactions that DFC supports.
