Haynes, who was selected for the new role after a nationwide recruitment search, has served as the Bank’s interim general counsel and interim corporate secretary since August. She fills the vacancy left by François Henriquez when he was appointed the St. Louis Fed’s first vice president and chief operating officer.

“I am proud to be part of the St. Louis Fed and look forward to using my experience to lead our fantastic team as we help shape the future of the Bank,” Haynes said.

In her new role, Haynes will lead the St. Louis Fed’s Legal and Ethics division and the Office of the Corporate Secretary. She will also be part of the St. Louis Fed’s Executive Leadership Committee, which is composed of the president, first vice president and division heads.

Haynes joined the Bank in 2012 as a senior attorney and has held positions of increasing responsibility, including serving as assistant counsel, followed by assistant vice president and associate general counsel, and finally vice president and deputy general counsel. Prior to joining the St. Louis Fed, she was an associate attorney at Lashly & Baer, P.C., in St. Louis. She received her Bachelor of Science in political science and her Juris Doctorate from Washington University in St. Louis.

“Jennifer’s decades of legal experience have prepared her well for this role,” said Alberto Musalem, St. Louis Fed president and CEO. “I look forward to working with her as part of our Bank’s top leadership team.”
