Charles H. Dallara (born August 25, 1948) is an American finance professional and the former managing director of the Institute of International Finance.
Education
Dallara earned a Bachelor of Arts in economics from the University of South Carolina in Columbia. He also completed two master's degrees and a doctorate at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University.
Career in banking
From 1993 until 2013, Dallara led the Institute of International Finance (IIF) as managing director, guiding its transformation from a consortium mainly composed of US and Japanese banks focused on Latin American debt restructuring into a worldwide trade association representing 461 financial institutions, with approximately half originating from emerging economies. He was instrumental during the European sovereign debt crisis, particularly in negotiating the private sector involvement (PSI) deal with Greece, which is regarded as the most extensive sovereign debt restructuring ever undertaken.
Prior to his tenure at the IIF, Dallara was managing director at J.P. Morgan & Co. between 1991 and 1993, where he directed investment and commercial banking operations across Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, the Middle East, Africa, and India.
He currently holds the position of Advisory Partner and Chairman on the Board of Directors for Partners Group USA.
Government and civil service appointments
During the administrations of Presidents George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan, Dallara occupied several significant roles: Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Policy Development and Senior Advisor to the Treasury Secretary (1988–1989); U.S. Executive Director at the International Monetary Fund (1984–1989); Senior Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Economic Policy at Treasury (1985–1988); Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Monetary Affairs (1983–1985); and U.S. Alternate Executive Director at the IMF (1982–1983).
Other appointments
Dallara is affiliated with the Council on Foreign Relations and participates on the international advisory board of Madrid’s Instituto de Empresa business school. He serves on the board of overseers for the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University and is an executive board member of the Washington, D.C. office of the Bertelsmann Foundation.
Additionally, he sits on the board of directors for the Private Export Funding Corporation (PEFCO), a U.S.-based entity owned by commercial banks and industrial and financial service firms that facilitates American exports by acquiring debt obligations from importers of U.S. products.
