Susan M. Collins Biography

Susan M. Collins is an economist and policymaker who serves as the 14th president and chief executive officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, one of 12 regional reserve banks in the Federal Reserve System. Collins is the first African American woman and first woman of color to lead any of the 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks. In this capacity, Collins participates on the Federal Open Market Committee, the monetary policymaking body of the United States, and oversees the bank's activities, including economic research and analysis, banking supervision and financial stability efforts, community economic development, and a range of payments, technology, and finance initiatives.

Collins began her career on the faculty of the economics department at Harvard University. She later became a professor of economics at Georgetown University and served as a senior fellow in economic studies at Brookings Institution. Collins also served on the President's Council of Economic Advisers and was a visiting scholar at the International Monetary Fund. Her research focuses on economic growth in industrial, emerging market, and developing countries, exchange rate regimes and economic performance, the implications of global integration for U.S. labor markets, and persistent macroeconomic imbalances.

Before joining the Boston Fed, Collins spent 15 years at the University of Michigan, where she served as provost and executive vice president for academic affairs, as well as the Edward M. Gramlich Collegiate Professor of Public Policy and professor of economics. She previously served as the Joan and Sanford Weill Dean of the university's Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, where she oversaw the creation of the school's first undergraduate degree program and supported efforts to enhance diversity, equity, and inclusion. As provost, Collins guided the university through significant challenges and led initiatives addressing student mental health and sexual and gender-based misconduct, for which she received the University of Michigan Board of Regents' Citation of Honor.

Collins holds a doctorate in economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a bachelor's in economics, summa cum laude, from Harvard University. She has been named a Distinguished Fellow of the American Economic Association. Her career spans teaching, research, academic administration, and public service. Collins is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research.

A recognized voice on monetary policy and international macroeconomics, Collins is a frequent public speaker. She delivered the Razin Economic Policy Lecture at Georgetown University on "Supply Factors and the Evolution of the Economy." She has also participated in the Council on Foreign Relations' C. Peter McColough Series on International Economics and the NABE Foundation's Annual Economic Measurement Seminar, where she discussed economic conditions, monetary policy, and the importance of reliable data for assessing economic and financial conditions. Collins' expertise in monetary policy, economic research, and global finance informs her leadership in both academia and public service.
