Raymond Baker is President of Global Financial Integrity, dedicated to analyzing and curtailing illicit financial flows impacting developing countries. He is the author of Capitalism’s Achilles Heel: Dirty Money and How to Renew the Free-Market System, published by John Wiley & Sons and cited by the Financial Times as one of the “best business books of 2005.”
He has for many years been an internationally respected authority on corruption, money laundering, growth, and foreign policy issues, particularly as they concern developing economies and impact western economic and foreign interests. He has written and spoken extensively, testified often before Senate and House committees, been quoted worldwide, and has commented frequently on television and radio in the United States, Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia on legislative matters and policy questions, including appearances on Nightline, CNN, BBC, NPR, Four Corners, and GloboNews, among others. Mr. Baker is a member of the High Level Panel on Illicit Financial Flows from Africa, created by the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa and chaired by H.E. Thabo Mbeki, former President of South Africa. He is also on the board of directors of the Center of Concern in Washington, D.C., a member of the Advisory Board of Transparency International – U.S.A., and a Scientific Advisor to the Ethical Research Institute. He began his non-profit career as a Guest Scholar for six years at the Brookings Institution and was associated for several years thereafter as a Senior Fellow at the Center for International Policy in Washington, D.C. He received his MBA from Harvard Business School and his BA from Georgia Institute of Technology.
