Julie Katzman (born December 6, 1961) was the Executive Vice-president and Chief Operating Officer of the Inter-American Development Bank.
Early career[edit]
After starting her career in Chicago and London, Katzman joined Lehman Brothers in New York in their high yield finance group where she worked on many high-profile M&A transactions in the late 1980s and the 1990s. She then moved to Lehman's private equity group where she was part of Lehman's first externally raised fund of $1.25 billion which had returns of over 35%, making investments in industries ranging from media to consumer products to defense. Katzman's experience as a director began while at Lehman Brothers, when, after leading Computervision Corporation's restructuring in 1992, she joined their board of directors. She also served as a member of Computervision's audit committee. She later joined the boards of Loral Aerospace and Space Systems/Loral, serving on the audit committee, after the Lehman Fund and Loral Corporation completed the acquisition of The Ford Motor Company's $1.9 billion defense business.[1] Katzman left Lehman as one of the firm's youngest managing directors.
After leaving Lehman Brothers, she was a co-founder and partner of Violy, Byorum & Partners,[2] a Latin America focused investment banking and strategic advisory firm. While at VB&P, Katzman advised a number of the region's most influential business groups across a broad range of industries.[3]
In government[edit]
At the Inter-American Development Bank, Katzman is Chief Operating Officer and manages the overall operations of the Bank, with over 4,000 staff and consultants and 29 offices.
Non-profit work[edit]
Katzman currently serves on the board of directors of the MacArthur Foundation, one of the 10 largest foundations in the United States with over $6 billion in assets.[4] She is the chairperson of the audit committee and a member of the foundation's investment and institutional policy (governance) committees. Katzman also serves on other not-for-profit boards of directors, including the Advisory Council of MIT Media Lab.[5]
