Doug Rediker is currently the Director of the Global Strategic Finance Initiative at the New America Foundation. This initiative focuses on the relationship between global finance, capital flows, and foreign policy, with a specific emphasis on the role of the U.S. in a multi-polar financial world. In 2007, he returned to the U.S. after over 16 years in Europe, where he served as a senior investment banker and private equity investor for (what were at the time) some of the world's leading financial institutions, including Salomon Brothers, Merrill Lynch, and Lehman Brothers.

As Head of Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa Investment Banking through much of the 1990’s, Doug was responsible for establishing operations in several countries and for originating and executing major transactions in Central and Eastern Europe, Russia, Turkey and Central Asia, including many landmark privatizations.

He was named an "Emerging Markets Superstar" by Global Finance Magazine and has received both the "EEMEA Equity" and "M&A Deals of the Year" by The International Financing Review. Mr. Rediker has appeared often in both television and print media, including the BBC, CNN, CNBC, The Financial News, The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, Congressional Quarterly, the National Journal, The New York Times, Forbes, Euromoney and The International Herald Tribune.

Doug has testified before U.S. Congressional Committees, and has moderated and participated in panels at World Economic Forum events on capital markets and emerging market investments. He was a member of the Steering Committee of the Clinton Global Initiative Task Force on Political Risk Insurance for the Middle East/Emerging Markets, is a member of the International Institute for Strategic Studies, the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House), and the Council on Foreign Relations. He has published opinion pieces in The New Republic, The Wall Street Journal, The National Interest, European Affairs and The Globalist.
