The board of directors of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), the US Government’s development finance institution, has approved the appointment of Tracey Webb as OPIC’s Vice President for Structured Finance and Insurance (SFI).

Ms. Webb will oversee the SFI department, which is focused on providing both financing and insurance solutions for long-term investments that strengthen OPIC contributions to international development, in sectors such as power, infrastructure, and inclusive financial services.

Ms. Webb brings nearly three decades of private and public sector finance experience to the position, including over 20 years of experience at OPIC, most recently as a Managing Director of Structured Finance.
