## Biography
Wally Adeyemo served as the 15th US deputy secretary of the Treasury and chief operating officer of the 100,000 employee department. Adeyemo played a leading role in Treasury’s national security and economic inequality work, and in implementing some of the department’s top policy priorities.
Adeyemo was responsible for the department's use of economic tools in service of protecting US national security, including financial sanctions and the work of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. He also oversaw Treasury’s implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act, which is the most significant investment in the economy, energy security, and climate change in a generation, as well as the most significant effort in decades to modernize the Internal Revenue Service.
Prior to his service in the Biden Administration, Adeyemo served as the president of the Barack Obama Foundation. He also previously served as deputy national security advisor for international economics and deputy director of the National Economic Council.
Adeyemo will simultaneously serve as a Distinguished Visiting Fellow at SIPA's Center for Global Energy Policy.
