Neel Kashkari (born July 30, 1973) is the Interim Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Financial Stability in the United States Department of Treasury. In this role, he heads the Office of Financial Stability, the office set up to buy troubled troubled financial assets from U.S. financial firms under the $700 billion U.S. Government Troubled Assets Relief Program.
Kashkari joined the Treasury Department in July 2006 as Senior Advisor to U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and was later appointed as the Assistant Secretary for International Economics and Development, a title he still holds, though his International Affairs responsibilities are delegated to Assistant Secretary for International Affairs Clay Lowery.,,
Early life
Kashkari, an Indian-American, was born on July 30, 1973 in Stow, Ohio. He attended Stow–Munroe Falls schools before transferring to the Western Reserve Academy in Hudson, Ohio, from which he graduated in 1991. His parents, Chaman and Sheila Kashkari, are from Kashmir, India.
Career
In July 2006, Kashkari was appointed as a special assistant to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. In the summer of 2008, he was appointed assistant secretary for international economics and was confirmed in that post by the U.S. Senate. Paulson named Kashkari as the interim head of the new Office of Financial Stability. He is expected to oversee the United States government's $700 billion financial stabilization program. This is an interim appointment; the permanent head of the Office of Financial Stability will require Senate confirmation, which is unlikely before the November elections.
Prior to joining the Treasury Department, Mr. Kashkari was a Vice President at Goldman, Sachs & Co., where he headed Goldman's information technology security investment banking practice in San Francisco. Kashkari has a Bachelor's and Master's degree in engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and an MBA in 2002 from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Before enrolling in Wharton's MBA program, Mr. Kashkari worked for the aerospace firm TRW, where, amongst other projects, he worked on the James Webb Space Telescope.
Kashkari's work at TRW
Kashkari worked in the Mechanical Design Department at TRW (now Northrop Grumman Space Technology). He left after June 2000. His last technical assignment was to develop precision latching technology for the Space Interferometer Mission (SIM) and the Next Generation Space Telescope (now JWST). Kashkari designed the latches and test setup, integrated the laser distance measuring interferometers, and demonstrated that the latches could retain their precision to the nano-meter level with appropriate pre-load. This result is now being employed in the JWST wing latches, which must ensure that this contributor to primary mirror wavefront remain stable within a few nano-meters of its allocated error budget.
