James Lambright Biography

During the past decade of extraordinary, dynamic economic events, James Lambright has served at the forefront of the world's most intricate financial issues and emerged as an accomplished leader in deftly handling today's complex, global economic crises. As Chief Investment Officer of Treasury's TARP program, Lambright spearheaded one of the most exhaustive and ambitious economic programs ever implemented in U.S. history, adroitly establishing the people, policies and programs for unprecedented government investment in the ailing American economy. Concurrently, Lambright served as Chairman and President of the U.S. Export-Import Bank, overseeing more than $50 billion in export finance transactions to over 100 countries. He played a critical role in rescuing America's economic health from the financial depths that threatened to derail the global economy and charted a course for growth and stability in the US and around the world.

Today, Lambright is Chief Operations Officer for Sapphire Energy, an innovative company at the forefront of a new industry category -- Green Crude Production. Sapphire's breakthrough technology has already produced fungible transportation fuels -- including octane gasoline, cetane diesel and jet fuel -- all out of algae, sunlight, and carbon dioxide. Renowned for his strategic reasoning, adept leadership, incisive intellect and shrewd observation, James Lambright captivates audiences with his mastery of global financial, policy and energy issues and translates them into powerful, pragmatic perspectives in a compelling, straight-forward style.

  • A Discussion with Jim Lambright

    Join Jim Lambright for a candid, lively discussion on today's global economic landscape, the events and trends impacting it now and shaping it for the future.

  • The Crossroads of Public and Private Finance

    Few people have held two senior positions operating at the new crossroads of public and private finance. As head of the U.S. Export-Import Bank and Chief Investment Officer of the U.S. Treasury's rescue program, Jim Lambright brings unique insight into the how the government will navigate between its responsibilities to achieve policy goals through its actions and to protect the taxpayer. Having served in these roles in both the late Bush and early Obama administrations, Lambright discusses how policymakers approach interventions into private markets, the sustainability of the current balance and what lies beyond this crossroads.

  • TARP: Its Origins and Evolution

    Brought to Treasury by Secretary Paulson with the U.S. economy at the brink of financial collapse, Jim Lambright built the team, policies, and programs that helped banks and companies avoid sudden disaster. Having engineered over $600 billion in financial rescue programs and transactions under Secretaries Paulson and Geithner, the U.S. Treasury Department's first Chief Investment Officer describes the circumstances and challenges surrounding the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). Audiences will get an exclusive insider's look into the one of the most sweeping economic programs ever created in U.S. history including:

    Why did the government need to play this expansive new role in the private markets?

    How Treasury's actions were shaped by concerns about markets, policy, and politics.

    What can we expect from the U.S. Government as an owner of private companies?

    Is the Global Economic Model Broken • or Obsolete? The pace of economic change today strains the ability of international institutions to keep up. The rules and definitions-even the economic theories on which they are based-governing our international financial institutions are stretched beyond their original usefulness by rapid and surprising developments in global trade and finance. In this compelling, illuminating discussion, Jim Lambright explains how the current economic landscape impacts governments and businesses around the world and their ability-or lack thereof • to be nimble in responding to dynamic, unprecedented conditions. He also provides an outlook for the future and how reform may be a valuable tool in minimizing protectionist sentiments and policies.

  • The Seduction of Trends

    The overconfidence in trends is often an overlooked but significant factor in contributing to a major financial collapse or crisis. From his years operating at the intersection of government and global finance, Jim Lambright has witnessed first-hand the risks and rewards associated with following • and bucking • trends. Here, Lambright cautions audiences to carefully consider and vet trends before making assumptions about the future including such critical issues as investment decisions, business resource allocations, and secondary education and professional pursuits.

  • The Financial Crisis in Context

    A key player in the US Government's response to the recent financial crisis, Jim Lambright explains the origins and implications of this historic situation that threatened the collapse of our financial markets. In this riveting and probing presentation, Lambright explores the conditions that created the crisis in the U.S. and around the world, the various constraints on the government's ability to act, the future impact on the global economy and tangible lessons for market participants to build upon for moving forward in this new era.
