In this episode Sienna speaks with
Karen Hudes, a whistleblower who reveals the layers of corruption at the
core of our financial system. Karen believes change can come by
speaking truth to power., and offers a solution about what can be done
to bring sustainability to the colossal band of thieves that hold us
hostage with their insider games, greed and control grid.In 2007 Karen warned the US Treasury Department and US Congress that the US would lose its right to appoint the President of the World Bank if the current American President of the World Bank did not play by the rules. The 66 year old Gentlemen's Agreement that Europe would appoint the Managing Director of the IMF and US would appoint the World Bank President ended in 2010.
Karen Hudes studied law at Yale Law School and economics at the University of Amsterdam. She worked in the US Export Import Bank of the US from 1980-1985 and in the Legal Department of the World Bank from 1986-2007. She established the Non Governmental Organization Committee of the International Law Section of the American Bar Association and the Committee on Multilateralism and the Accountability of International Organizations of the American Branch of the International Law Association.
Can one women stand up to the corruption in the highest echelons of global banking and win? Karen Hudes thinks she can and shes doing it!
