The Honorable Jeb Hensarling

Congressman Jeb Hensarling served as Managing Director and Executive Vice Chairman of UBS Americas from 2019-23. In that role he advised the firm’s senior leadership on geopolitical and public policy risks to various market sectors and the macroeconomy. Working across the firm’s wealth management, asset management and invest banking divisions, he also assisted the firm’s largest clients in assessing the impact of these risks on their business interests, M&A activity and investment portfolios.
Prior to joining UBS in 2019, Hensarling served in the U.S. Congress for eight terms, including three terms as Chairman of the powerful House Financial Services Committee which exercises jurisdiction over important areas of the nation’s economy including banking, securities, fintech, crypto, insurance, housing, and monetary policy. During his congressional career Hensarling was chosen to serve in other key leadership positions including House Republican Conference Chairman, the fourth highest ranking position in Republican leadership, and Chairman of the Republican Study Committee, Congress’ largest caucus. He also served as Co-Chairman of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction and was a member of the Congressional Oversight Panel for TARP, the $700 billion troubled asset purchase program set up in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. During his congressional tenure, the Wall Street Journal referred to Hensarling as, “[a driver] of economic policy in the House,” and the LA Times called him, “a pivotal player in the GOP effort to reduce financial regulation in the Trump Era.”
Prior to being elected to Congress, Hensarling served as an officer of both Maverick Capital, a well-known hedge fund, and Green Mountain Energy, one of the nation’s leading retailers of renewable energy. Additionally, he spent several years practicing both corporate and real estate law.
Hensarling earned a BA in Economics from Texas A&M University and a JD from the University of Texas. He currently serves as a Senior Advisor to several financial firms including the Texas Stock Exchange and sits on the boards of Cox Media Group and Concord Servicing. Hensarling previously served on the boards of Caliber Home Loans, IMCO Recycling and SIFMA, the trade association for the securities industry. He and his family live in Dallas where he is an active volunteer with the Dallas area Goodwill and Scouting America.
