Douglas Shulman Biography
Douglas H. Shulman is a leader in public service, financial regulation, and private enterprise. He holds a Bachelor of Arts from Williams College, a Master of Public Administration from Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government, and a Juris Doctor magna cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center. Earlier in his career, Shulman worked at consulting firm AT Kearney, co-founded Teach for America, and served as vice president at Darby Overseas Investments.
After joining NASD, Shulman oversaw stock market operations, led the sale of NASDAQ Stock Market and the divestiture of American Stock Exchange, directed the launch of TRACE, and modernized technology operations. He served as vice chairman of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and in the same role at the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) before its consolidation with New York Stock Exchange Member Regulation, which resulted in the formation of FINRA.
Shulman became the 47th commissioner of Internal Revenue and presided over the nation's tax administration system, which collects tax revenue that funds most government operations and public services. He managed an agency of more than 100,000 employees and a multi-billion dollar budget. As commissioner, he directed a transformation of the agency's technology, improved customer service metrics, and led initiatives addressing international tax evasion. Shulman launched and completed a major modernization of the IRS's core technology, allowing the IRS to process tax returns on a daily cycle, resulting in faster refunds and improved customer service for individual taxpayers.
During his tenure, the IRS played a significant role in economic recovery efforts by delivering funds through the tax system and designing programs to assist individuals and businesses during economic challenges. Shulman was involved in the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, as most financial information flows and transactions resulting from the law pass through the tax system. He increased IRS activity on international tax issues, including breakthroughs in offshore tax evasion, and served as chair of the OECD Forum on Tax Administration. Under his leadership, the agency improved its ranking in the government-wide Best Places to Work in Government survey.
Following his time at the IRS, Shulman served as a senior advisor with McKinsey & Company, advising clients in the public sector and financial services. He then joined BNY Mellon as senior executive vice president and global head of client service delivery, and a member of the executive committee, where he was responsible for business operations and service delivery in 35 countries and more than 100 markets. Shulman serves as chairman and CEO of OneMain Financial, leading a nonprime lender focused on providing lending products. He also serves on the board of directors of CVS Health and is a member of the board of trustees for the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
