Eileen Fahey
Eileen Fahey brings extensive expertise in credit, market and operational risk management to a managed fund board built on over seven years as Fitch Ratings’ Chief Risk Officer. Her leadership across global credit risk and control frameworks—especially during periods of market stress—has strengthened risk governance, regulatory compliance and strategic resilience. Eileen’s collaborative approach to credit and market risk oversight helped Fitch grow market share in global structured finance products in 2023 and 2024, while also establishing the firm’s first formal risk appetite statement and enhancing its risk management practices.
As a board member, Eileen offers deep knowledge of financial markets, portfolio risk assessment and regulatory engagement—skills critical to safeguarding investor interests in a complex market environment. Her governance experience includes chairing Fitch’s US 401(k) plan committee, where she negotiated a successful merger with the parent’s plan, optimized fund options and strengthened investment governance and oversight—experience directly transferable to fiduciary responsibilities on a fund board. She has been a member of the Museum's Board of Trustees since 2018.
