Barbara A. Ryan, Deputy to the Chairman and Chief Operating Officer/Chief of Staff, has announced that she will retire from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) on April 30, 2018.
Ms. Ryan was appointed FDIC Chief of Staff in July 2011 and Deputy to the Chairman and Chief Operating Officer in January 2014. In this dual capacity, Ms. Ryan assisted the FDIC Chairman in the overall operation of the agency, chaired numerous internal committees, and was instrumental in initiating several of the FDIC's key employee engagement programs.

"I would like to thank Barbara for her extraordinary service to the FDIC," said Chairman Martin J. Gruenberg. "There is no one I have relied on more since I joined the FDIC Board, particularly for her exceptional judgement, expertise, and management skill. She helped make the FDIC a great place to work."
Ms. Ryan joined the FDIC in 2005 following a 26-year career serving as an economist and in executive and advisory positions in the public and private sectors. She has a B.A. in Economics and English from Georgetown University, an M.A. in Economics from The George Washington University, and a Ph.D. in Economics from George Mason University.

It promotes the safety and soundness of these institutions by identifying, monitoring and addressing risks to which they are exposed.
