“Anna is a dedicated public servant who applies her keen understanding of financial markets and operations, and her decades of engagement with central banks and market participants around the world to help drive our success,” stated John C. Williams, President and CEO of the New York Fed. He further highlighted her “deep and broad expertise and experience, humility, and empathetic leadership.”
Nordstrom expressed her respect for the Fed and her commitment to the role: “I have enormous respect for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the Federal Reserve System, its mission, and the people who serve it, and I am humbled and honored to take on this role.” She appreciated the opportunity to work alongside her colleagues to fulfill their public mission.
Since 2023, Nordstrom has been overseeing the Domestic and International Markets Function.
