"These are unprecedented times, and anyone who tells me that they know what the economy will look like as little as six months from now is relying on a lot of guesswork." --Keith Hennessey

A trusted advisor in the West Wing, Keith Hennessey served as director of the National Economic Council (NEC) and assistant to the president for economic policy. Advising President Bush on everything from trade and labor strikes to energy and climate change, Hennessey was at the center of some of the most consequential times in American history. A Leading Authorities exclusive speaker, Keith Hennessey's presentations are insightful and educational about the state of the global economic situation, giving audiences an informed and rounded view of the many issues facing the economy and the country.

Answers the Tough Economic Questions. In the White House, Hennessey analyzed economic issues and coordinated the design of the president's economic policies. Involved at every level of economic policy, he advised the president on the political, legal, and legislative questions that arose when making sound economic decisions and forming policies.
