Barr later served as an advisor to the distributed ledger tech company Ripple. He is currently a faculty member at the University of Michigan.
"I will work with Senate Banking Committee Chair Sherrod Brown to move Barr’s nomination forward quickly, and urge the Senate to swiftly confirm the four eminently qualified nominees for the Board of Governors—Jerome Powell, Lael Brainard, Philip Jefferson, and Lisa Cook— currently awaiting a vote," Biden said inBarr's nomination follows the withdrawal of Sarah Bloom Raskin's nomination following opposition from Republican lawmakers and Democratic Senator Joe Manchin.
