The spectacular meltdown of financial markets beginning in Fall of 2008 and continuing throughout 2009 has been a tremendous opportunity to learn insights from senior leaders while it was all happening. Highlights have included the CEO of a sub-prime mortgage lender, a Managing Director from Merrill Lynch during the takeover by Bank of America, and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the San Francisco Federal Reserve (Portland Branch), during the "Quantitative Easing" program, who each graced our guest roster with impeccable insights from the inside.
