The St. Louis Fed on Aug. 28 announced that it was formally launching the search process to hire its next president and CEO. The interim president and CEO role is currently filled by Kathleen O’Neill Paese, the Bank’s first vice president and chief operating officer. O’Neill Paese moved into the interim role when former St. Louis Fed President James Bullard stepped down in July to become the inaugural dean of the Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. School of Business at Purdue University.
