Dennis Michael Kelleher (born August 12, 1957) is President and CEO of Better Markets, Inc., an independent nonpartisan nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C. that promotes the public interest in the financial markets.
Biography[edit]
Kelleher is a graduate of Brandeis University, with a law degree from Harvard Law School. After four years active duty in the United States Air Force he became a partner at the New York based international law firm of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, resigning from the partnership on two occasions to serve in three senior staff positions in the United States Senate.
Better Markets[edit]
Kelleher left the Senate staff in September 2010 to join Better Markets, which had been founded earlier that year by Michael Masters. The organization is a nonpartisan, independent, 501c3 nonprofit organization that promotes the public interest in the capital and commodity markets, primarily in the US, but also in Europe and elsewhere. It focuses on the rulemaking and implementation of the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act signed into law by President Obama in July 2010, as well as on public advocacy, litigation, and research on financial markets and financial reform. As president and CEO, Kelleher leads a staff of 12 in DC, 2 in Brussels and 1 in London.
Kelleher’s work at Better Markets has been profiled in the New York Times (“Facing Down the Bankers”) and by the PBS show Need to Know (“Braking the Banks”). He was also featured in Frontline’s award-winning inside story of the global financial crisis (“Money, Power and Wall Street”), as well as in the German and French public television documentaries on the global financial collapse. He also frequently speaks on financial matters and is widely quoted in US and international media.
