Banker to the World

Media

2011 07 21 banker to the world icon

 

William Rhodes, retired senior advisor at Citigroup and board member of The Korea Society, will discuss his newly released Banker to the World on July 21 at noon. Ambassador Thomas Hubbard, chairman of The Korea Society, will moderate the discussion as Rhodes reflects on decades of experience in international finance, especially the lessons learned in Korea during the financial crisis of the late 1990s. On July 19, Bill Rhodes will accept The Korea Society’s 2011 Van Fleet Award on behalf of the U.S.-Korea Business Council, an organization that has contributed to the business and economic exchange between Korea and the United States.

Rhodes was lauded for his skills at international financial diplomacy in the 1980’s, following his handling of the Latin American debt crisis. He headed the advisory committees of international banks negotiating restructuring agreements across Latin America and the Caribbean. In 1998, when the Republic of Korea experienced liquidity problems, he chaired the international banking group that negotiated the extension of the short-term debt of the Korean banking system.
