Hello! I’m Karen and I rejoined the FSB Secretariat in December 2025, having previously worked as an associate from 2018 to 2019. It’s a privilege to return to an organisation that plays a critical role in promoting global financial stability and fostering international cooperation.
Since my earlier time at the FSB, I pursued further studies in economics and worked at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), an independent bureau of the US Treasury Department. There, I deepened my understanding of financial regulation, economic research, and policy analysis. At the FSB Secretariat, my work focuses on supporting members’ assessments of vulnerabilities in the global financial system, particularly in the rapidly evolving crypto-asset space, as well as assessing the effectiveness of recommendations and implementation monitoring.
I’m excited to be back in Basel to keep learning about the global financial system across a broad range of topics, collaborate with colleagues and members from around the world, and tackle complex challenges together.
