Geithner, who stepped down as treasury secretary in January, will join the New York-based firm in March. He will work closely with Warburg Pincus’ top executives on overall firm strategy and management, investing and portfolio management, organizational and funding structure, and investor relations, the firm said in a statement.
… Before becoming Treasury secretary, Geithner was president and chief executive of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York from 2003 to 2009, where he helped design the US response to the financial crisis of 2008-09. Since leaving Treasury, he has been a distinguished fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and has conducted a series of seminars on financial crises at universities across the country.
