Pawlenty is new Financial Services Roundtable CEO
Tim Pawlenty will be the new CEO of the Financial Services Roundtable, Washington, effective Nov. 1.
The former Republican Minnesota governor will succeed long-time CEO Steve Bartlett who announced his retirement earlier this year.
Pawlenty, 51, served as governor from 2003 to 2011 and, before that, was a member of the state’s House of Representatives from 1993 to 2003, where he served two terms as Majority Leader. From 2007 to 2008, he was chairman of the bipartisan National Governors Association. In the past two years, he gained prominence by running for the Republican nomination for President of the U.S.
Bartlett earned $1.8 million as the association's CEO, according to media reports.
Because FSR is a bipartisan organization, Pawlenty will step down as a national co-chairman of the Romney for President campaign.
