Douglas Shulman

Last updated

Douglas Shulman was the commissioner of the IRS during some of the time when new criteria, including the name of organizations, were used to identify tax exempt applications for review. However, Douglas Shulman was not mentioned in the Inspector General report that uncovered and detailed this issue. [28] [29] In a congressional hearing held on May 21, 2013, Douglas Shulman denied responsibility for the policy, stating that he found out some facts, but not all the facts about a list of names, from Steven T. Miller and at that time he was also informed that the practice had been stopped and the issue had been referred to the Inspector General for review. [30]

In May 2013, he told Republican U.S. Senator John Cornyn "I certainly am not personally responsible for making a list that had inappropriate criteria on it. With that said, this happened on my watch, and I very much regret that this happened on my watch." [31]

Post-IRS business career

On July 13, 2018, OneMain Holdings, Inc., announced Shulman as its next President and Chief Executive Officer. [32]

Earlier, he was an executive at BNY Mellon [33] and had been a Senior Advisor with McKinsey & Company. [34]
