Since 1990, I have been a member of the IMF's Legal Department. In that capacity, I have worked in all aspects of the IMF's activities and operations, at increasing levels of seniority. As Deputy General Counsel, I have led the Legal Department's work on IMF surveillance, program lending and technical assistance in countries throughout the world. I have led the reform of IMF policies in all aspects of Fund operations (e.g., surveillance and the FSAP process, conditionality, governance and quota reform, the Fund's financial structure, data reporting and transparency, and technical assistance/training to member countries). I currently lead all of the the Fund's legal work in the reform of member countries' financial sectors (e.g., central banking, regulation and resolution of financial institutions, payments systems, AML/CFT) and fiscal sector (taxation, public financial management, public debt management). I am co-lead of the IMF's Interdepartmental Working Group on Finance and Technology (Fintech), and a member of the Financial Stability Board's Legal Experts Group. As a senior member of the Legal Department's management team, I have been directly responsible for all aspects of the management of the Department (e.g., human resources, budget), and have been centrally involved in strategic initiatives led by IMF management.
