Whitney presented to the FDIC on risks in the U.S. subprime lending market, contributing to the agency’s early focus on subprime issues.

Whitney’s analysis of Citigroup influenced broader financial industry discourse, as referenced in Michael Lewis’ "The Big Short." She has been named among the world’s most influential people by Time Magazine and included in Fortune’s 50 Most Powerful Women in Business.
