Keynote Chat: Join Kevin Stiroh for an insightful discussion on geopolitical risks and their implications for global banking and financial institutions. With over 30 years of experience in financial analysis, supervision, and risk management, Kevin brings a unique perspective on how shifting political, economic, and regulatory dynamics shape the stability and strategy of financial systems worldwide.
Kevin served as a senior advisor at the Federal Reserve Board, where he led the Fed’s work on the risks of climate change to individual financial institutions. He also served as executive vice president and head of the Supervision Group at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Kevin is presently a senior fellow at Resources for the Future (RFF).
In an era of shifting alliances and regulatory flux, financial actors face a landscape shaped by geopolitical instability, sanctions regimes, the rise of regional energy blocs, and the mounting risks of climate change. This opening session sets the stage for the summit, charting the forces reshaping capital flows, market access, and cross-border cooperation—and exploring how leaders can navigate volatility without losing sight of long-term sustainability.
