World Bank Taps Lehman’s Ex Risk Officer As Treasurer

My head is spinning.

Madelyn Antoncic served as chief risk officer at Lehman Brothers just before it collapsed. Before that between 2002 and 2007 she was head of Global Head of Market Risk Management at Lehman.
As Halah Touryalai, at Forbes puts it, you would think that Antoncic"would be hard pressed to score any financial job ever again." But no so fast.

The World Bank just hired Antoncic to run its finances as its treasurer and vice president.

She’ll be responsible, according to the World Bank, for its Capital Markets Department; Investment Management Department; Pension & Endowments; Quantitative Risk Analytics; Treasury Operations Department; Banking & Debt Management, and Sovereign Investment Partnerships.

Deliberate incompetence to us, yes.
