My Take
Most people would not recognize William C. Dudley's name, and that is precisely why I find him compelling. Running the Federal Reserve Bank of New York from 2009 to 2018 and serving as vice-chair of the Federal Open Market Committee meant steering American monetary policy through the bruising aftermath of the financial crisis, stepping in after Geithner left for Treasury. Economist and banker, he held one of the most consequential and least glamorous levers in the global economy. I keep coming back to the idea that the quietest jobs are often the heaviest, and Dudley is a textbook case of unflashy, steady-handed influence.
