Economics adviser Gene Sperling joined Ripple’s board in 2015 after serving under Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.
One of United States President Joe Biden’s senior economic advisers and a former member of Ripple Labs’ board of directors will be leaving the White House to join Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential campaign.
In an Aug. 5 notice, President Biden said Gene Sperling would leave his administration, where he had worked as a senior adviser since 2021. Reports suggested that Sperling will join Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign with roughly three months until the presidential election, with leading candidates including herself and Republican nominee Donald Trump.
Sperling joined Ripple’s board in 2015 after serving as an economic adviser under Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. He served in the Biden administration starting in 2021. At the time of publication, Ripple’s website did not list the economic adviser as one of its nine-member board of directors.
