Steven Rattner Biography

Steven Rattner is recognized for his work at the intersection of finance, public policy, and media in the United States. Rattner began his career as an economic correspondent for The New York Times, reporting from New York, Washington, and London. At age 27, he became The New York Times' chief Washington economic correspondent. After nearly a decade in journalism, Rattner transitioned to investment banking, holding positions at Lehman Brothers, Morgan Stanley, and Lazard Freres & Co., where he advanced to deputy chairman and deputy chief executive officer. He later became managing principal of the Quadrangle Group, a private equity investment firm specializing in media and communications.

Rattner served as Counselor to the Secretary of the Treasury, leading the federal government's efforts to restructure the auto industry. Reporting to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Lawrence Summers, head of the National Economic Council, Rattner and the auto task force developed a plan involving government investment and controlled bankruptcies for major auto manufacturers and related suppliers. The initiative resulted in both automakers emerging from bankruptcy with new management and renewed profitability.

Rattner documented his experience in the book "Overhaul," offering an account of the economic rescue of the auto industry. The book became a New York Times best seller and established Rattner as a credible voice on economic and industrial policy.

Rattner is chairman and chief executive officer of Willett Advisors LLC, which manages the personal and philanthropic assets of former New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. He serves as economic analyst on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" and is a contributing writer to The New York Times Op-Ed page. Rattner regularly presents economic data and analysis on "Morning Joe," focusing on macroeconomic trends and public policy issues. He has also contributed to public and philanthropic organizations, serving as chairman of the Educational Broadcasting Corporation, a fellow at Brown University, chairman of the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City, and as a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
