Bessent’s Chief of Staff to Take Senior Post at IMF

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s Chief of Staff Dan Katz will leave the Trump administration and join the International Monetary Fund as the organization’s second-in-command, three sources told the New York Post on Wednesday.

Katz is set to become the first deputy managing director and the most senior American at the IMF, reporting to Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva, a Bulgarian economist and ex-EU commissioner.

Katz “is one of the secretary’s closest confidantes,” said one insider. “It is a big win for President Trump’s America First economic agenda on the international stage.”
