[1] [2]
He is one of the primary architects of the sanctions package that the US implemented on Russia after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022 and has been at the forefront of designing and teaching "economic statecraft" at the intersection of economic policy and national security,including as a graduate school lecturer at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. [3] [4] [5] [6]

[7] [8] He attended Enloe High School and was selected in 1992 to represent North Carolina at Boys' Nation,meeting President George H.W. Bush in the Rose Garden. His great-granduncle was the first Asian American elected to Congress,Dalip Singh Saund. [9]
Singh earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics and public policy from Duke University,followed by a dual Master of Business Administration and Master of Public Administration in international economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Harvard Kennedy School. [10] [11]
He was also deputy assistant secretary of the Treasury for international affairs and acting Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Financial Markets in the Obama administration,spearheading the Department's response to Greece's near-exit from the eurozone in 2015 [12] [13] [14] and advocating for reforms to bolster the resilience of Treasury markets. [15]
During the most acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020,Singh was executive vice president and head of the Markets Group at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. In this capacity,Singh was reportedly responsible for implementing most of the emergency lending programs put in place by the Federal Reserve to backstop the economy. [16] [17] [18] [19] [20]
He was appointed by President Biden as Deputy National Security Advisor at the National Security Council and deputy director of the National Economic Council in mid-February 2021. [21]
Before the invasion of Ukraine,Singh led the Administration’s efforts to launch a democratic alternative to China’s Belt and Road Initiative, [22] craft a digital assets strategy, [23] develop a global pandemic preparedness fund, [24] and reform the World Bank. [25]
After the Russian invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022,Singh emerged as a chief architect of the economic sanctions imposed by the United States on Russia,detailing the Administration's design and strategy in multiple press briefings from the White House podium and press interviews, [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] including a feature story on 60 minutes. [32] Singh identified that the Russian economy was dependent on Western cutting-edge technologies such as microchips and software and that the Russian economy was vulnerable to a sudden stop of overseas capital. [30]
He pushed for and coordinated the sanctions measures taken against Russia's central bank,as the US,EU,UK,Japan,and Canada prohibited any dealings with the entity only two days after the invasion began. [30] According to the New Yorker ,"No entity as large as the Russian Central Bank,nor so important to the global economy,had been sanctioned in modern times." [30]
Singh began "an extended leave of absence" from the White House beginning in April 2022,reportedly due to family reasons. [33]
Since leaving the White House,Singh has testified to Congress on the Russia sanctions regime, [34] argued in favor of "freedom bonds"for Ukraine (inspired by the Brady plan), [35] and continued to advocate forcefully in favor of a digital dollar. [36] [37]
