Barkin has served as head of one of 12 regional Fed banks since 2018. He’s also a voting member on the Fed’s interest-setting Federal Open Market Committee for 2024, holding one of four rotating seats on the committee.
In June, Barkin told a gathering of the Richmond chapter of the Risk Management Association that the U.S. economy has yet to feel the effects of current interest rates, but that it eventually will.
To gather insights on the economy, Barkin likes to be on the ground, talking with business, civic and community leaders in the Fed’s Fifth District, which covers South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Washington, D.C., West Virginia and Maryland.
A native of Tampa, Florida, Barkin worked for three decades at global consultancy McKinsey & Co., where his roles included chief financial officer and chief risk officer. He also served on the board of directors for the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta from 2009 to 2014.
A three-time Harvard grad, Barkin has sat on the Emory University board of trustees since 2014. He is also a member of the executive committee of the United States Golf Association.
