Alex Pollock
— President and CEO of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago, 1991-2004— Architect of the Mortgage Partnership Finance Program
Where is he now:
Upon his sudden exit from the Chicago FHLB in 2004, it was rumored that Pollock was looking to land a position in the Treasury Department during President George W. Bush’s second term. That rumor never came to fruition, but Pollock did serve as a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and is currently a distinguished senior fellow at R Street. He also serves as a director for the CME Group, one of the largest options and futures exchanges worldwide. And he continues to write — about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, among other topics.
