Widely respected by centrists and liberals alike, Lew was a well-received selection for deputy secretary of state by policy wonks for his competent work as director of the Office of Management and Budget during the Clinton administration. After graduating magna cum laude from Harvard, he worked as a senior domestic policy adviser to then-House Speaker Thomas P. "Tip" O’Neill Jr. (Mass.-D). Lew joined the Clinton administration in February 1993 as special assistant to the president and moved to OMB in 1994. Most recently, Lew was chief operating officer of Citi Alternative Investments, an investment unit of Citigroup. Before going to Citi, Lew was executive vice president and chief operating officer of New York University.
