Kevin M. Warsh is a former central banker, presidential advisor and noted economic and financial market expert who currently serves as a distinguished visiting fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution and a lecturer at its Graduate School of Business.
In February 2006, Warsh was confirmed by the U.S. Senate to join the Federal Reserve's seven-member governing board, becoming the youngest appointee in Fed history at age 35. He focused on financial and economic developments and the conduct of monetary policy. Warsh played a significant role in navigating the financial market turmoil amid the global financial crisis. He also served as the Fed's representative to the Group of Twenty (G-20), consisting of the world's largest 20 economies, and as the Fed's emissary to the emerging and advanced economies in Asia until his departure in April 2011.

A native of upstate New York, Warsh earned his A.B. in public policy from Stanford and J.D. from Harvard Law School. After graduation in 1995, he joined Morgan Stanley & Co. in New York, becoming vice president and executive director of the company's Mergers and Acquisitions Department.
