Personal life

Ludwig was born in Brooklyn, New York,[1] to Jacob S. and Louise Rabiner Ludwig.[2] He was raised in York, Pennsylvania, attending public schools.[3] His father was a country doctor who took his son with him to get his first office loan.[4] His mother was a former Broadway chorus girl.[5] His younger brother Ken Ludwig is an award-winning playwright.[6] "Dear Jack, Dear Louise," a play by Ludwig's brother based on their parents' courtship during World War II, opened at Arena Stage in December 2019.[7]

Ludwig received his undergraduate degree magna cum laude from Haverford College in 1968 and was initiated into Phi Beta Kappa. He received a scholarship to Oxford University, where he studied philosophy, politics and economics at New College and earned a Masters of Arts as a Keasbey Fellow. He holds a J.D. degree from Yale Law School, where he was an editor of the Yale Law Journal and president of Yale Legislative Services.[8] He is a Wykeham Fellow at New College, Oxford.[9] Ludwig lives in Washington, D.C. He is married to Dr. Carol Ludwig, and they have three children.

Ludwig joined the law firm of Covington and Burling in 1973 and became a partner in 1981. He specialized in intellectual property law, banking, and international trade. In 1987, 'The New York Times' described him as a leader in the fight against gray-market goods, which are goods manufactured overseas and imported without the consent of the trademark holder. Ludwig called the practice "consumer deception."[10]

Government service

In 1993, President Bill Clinton selected Ludwig to become the 27th Comptroller of the Currency, responsible for chartering, regulating, and supervising national banks and the federal branches and agencies of foreign banks. As Comptroller, Ludwig led the agency through a period of substantial change, both within the financial marketplace as well as in the supervisory and examination practices of the agency. Ludwig took office at time of economic upheaval, following a recession that yielded a spike in bank failures and amid a credit crunch that had persisted for several years.[11] He took the lead in regulators’ 1993 initiatives to alleviate a lingering credit crunch by encouraging banks to increase lending,[12] and later described the results as “dramatic.” He said: “The credit crunch abated, the economy began to grow again and the banking industry returned to good health.”[13]

Ludwig improved safety and soundness supervision through adoption of "supervision by risk",[14] an approach that has been adopted by many other supervisory agencies.[15]

Ludwig also led President Clinton's initiatives to reform the Community Reinvestment Act and more vigorously enforce the fair lending laws.[16] In December 1993, Ludwig was singled out by then-Secretary of the Treasury Robert Rubin, who praised “his efforts to make CRA reform a reality."[17]

During five years in office, Ludwig oversaw 4,000 fair lending examinations of national banks and made 25 referrals of fair lending violations to the Department of Justice and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Previously, there had been only one such referral to a federal agency charged with fair lending enforcement.[18]

As Comptroller, Ludwig served as a member of the Basel Committee on Bank Supervision, a director of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and a director of the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation.[19]

Reflecting on his service as Comptroller in April 2010, Ludwig testified before the U.S. House Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit that "credit made available to low- and moderate-income Americans through CRA programs during ... the 1990s was not only transforming for low- and moderate-income communities, but it was almost without exception profitable and safe."[20]

Business career

Bankers Trust / Deutsche Bank

Ludwig served as vice chairman of Bankers Trust/Deutsche Bank from April 1998[21] to December 31, 1999.[22] During his time there, he participated in the rescue negotiations for Long-Term Capital Management, a bond-trading hedge fund that was recapitalized under the Federal Reserve’s guidance by 16 leading financial institutions to prevent its collapse.[23]

Promontory Financial Group

In 2001, Ludwig founded Promontory Financial Group, becoming its CEO and chairman. The firm gained attention when, following a $750 million trading scandal at Allied Irish Banks, Promontory produced what became known as "The Ludwig Report,"[24] recommending improved compliance and management measures which helped the bank regain its footing.[25] In 2007, after Ludwig advised Countrywide Financial, Portfolio.com wrote that "[Countrywide CEO] Angelo Mozilo is a tough character, and Ludwig is one of the few people with enough clout to persuade him that the game really was up."[26] Business Week reported that Promontory has also advised PNC Financial Services Group, Riggs National Bank, and Citigroup, and helped clean up abuses at AIG.[27] In 2008, Morgan Stanley announced that it had become a client of Ludwig's.[28]

Other business ventures

Ludwig is also co-founder and managing partner of Canapi Ventures, a venture capital firm,[29] and chairman of Promontory MortgagePath, which provides mortgage fulfillment services to financial institutions.[30][31] Promontory Interfinancial Network, a separate company that Ludwig started in 2003 with former Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Alan Blinder, was sold in 2019 to Blackstone Group.[32][33]

Notable statements and testimony

Since founding Promontory Financial Group, Ludwig has been invited to testify before Congress as an expert witness several times:

In October 2008 testimony to the Senate Banking Committee, Ludwig summarized the origins of the Financial Crisis of 2007-08: “The fundamental story of the current turmoil is relatively easy to tell. It began early in this decade with a weakening of underwriting standards for subprime mortgages in the U.S. Subprime, alt-A and other mortgage products [which] were sold to people who could not afford them and in some cases in violation of legal standards.”[34]

In February 2009, Reuters reported that Ludwig was an advisor to U.S. Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd and U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, as well as Republican Senator Richard Shelby, among others.[35]

In September 2009, Ludwig testified before the Senate Banking Committee and said, ‘‘we must dramatically streamline the current alphabet soup of regulators,’’ citing the burden on financial institutions of duplicative supervision, gaps between regulatory responsibilities, and regulatory arbitrage.[36]

IBM

In September 2016, IBM announced plans to acquire Promontory, citing its status as “the firm financial institutions turned to for guidance coming out of the 2008 financial crisis.” The transaction was completed in November 2016, and the firm— renamed Promontory Financial Group, an IBM Company—became a wholly owned subsidiary of IBM with Ludwig remaining at the helm.[37]

IBM, describing Promontory’s expertise in regulation, risk, and compliance as “unsurpassed,” said Promontory’s team of 600 professionals would train IBM’s Watson cognitive computing system to understand a massive volume of regulations and compliance requirements. By harnessing this information, Watson—which combines artificial intelligence with analytical software to support complex decision-making—could accelerate financial institutions’ ability to understand regulatory changes and obligations and address compliance requirements, IBM said.[38]

Cognitive computing “has the potential to vastly improve existing approaches to risk management, potentially covering everything from stress testing and capital planning to credit portfolio analysis, risk modeling, and regulatory change management,” Ludwig wrote in Investor’s Business Daily in December 2016.[39]

Ludwig stressed that artificial intelligence would complement, rather than replace, human compliance efforts.[40]

Expertise and views

Ludwig is the editor of The Vanishing American Dream, a book that provides comments from experts across the political spectrum on the economic challenges facing lower- and middle-income Americans.[41][42] The book examines how traditional economic measures like the unemployment rate and GDP are masking a crisis for millions of lower- and middle-income families, who struggle to afford health care, housing, and education and occupy jobs that cannot help them reverse the downward slide. The book, to be published September 22, 2020, was the outcome of a 2019 Yale Law School symposium organized by Ludwig. It includes commentary from 23 experts, including economists Lawrence Summers, Glenn Hubbard, and Robert Shiller; former Deputy Treasury Secretary and Federal Reserve Governor Sarah Bloom Raskin; public policy expert and political adviser Oren Cass; and Brooking Institution Senior Fellow Belle Sawhill. Kirkus Reviews called the book a “lively and engrossing work” in which “Ludwig presents a model of public discourse—informed, multidisciplinary, and shorn of myopic ideological commitments.”[43]

Ludwig has written numerous articles on banking, finance, and economic policy for scholarly journals and publications and has been a guest lecturer at Yale and Harvard law schools and Georgetown University's International Law Institute.[44] A theme in Ludwig's speeches and writings has been his conviction that the economic challenges confronting lower- and middle-income Americans are growing urgent. He has noted that real-wage stagnation, combined with dramatic surges in the costs of basics such as education, housing, health care and food, have created a situation in which middle-income households by 2014 were spending 78% of their budgets on basic needs.[45] He has voiced skepticism about strong economic indicators such as gross domestic product and jobs numbers, arguing in a CNBC op-ed in July 2018 that common measures of economic health mask significant and growing disparities between the wealthiest Americans and those in lower- and middle-income brackets.[46] He has also raised concern about what he has described as poorly conceived limits on policymakers' ability to respond forcefully to a severe economic downturn.[47]

In 2008, Ludwig co-authored an essay in The Wall Street Journal with former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul A. Volcker and former U.S. Treasury Secretary Nicholas F. Brady calling for a resurrection of the Resolution Trust Corporation to help deal with the financial crisis.[48] The op-ed was widely discussed and cited, capturing the interest of, among others, then-Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson as he explored solutions to the rapidly unfolding financial crisis.[49]
