Mr. Halliwell has more than 30 years of Russia-related business experience. Since 1994 he has held senior posts at four international financial service organizations including the $440 million U.S. Russia Investment Fund, where he served as Chief Financial Officer, and River Capital International Group, where he was Managing Director of a U.S.-registered limited partnership investing in Russian securities.
For the nine years prior he held a series of executive positions with Citibank/Citicorp, culminating in Director of Corporate Finance, Central and Eastern Europe. In this capacity he originated structured trade finance, project finance and cash management transactions for dozens of major multinational companies doing business in this region. Among his more notable achievements was structuring the first US Exim Bank transaction in the Ukraine -- a $70 million sale of agricultural equipment and supplies to that nation. He also raised $120 million for construction of a petrochemical terminal on Russia's Volga River -- one of the first projects originating from the US Oil and Gas Framework Agreement, a pact signed in 1993 to facilitate the export of American oil equipment, technology and services to Russia.
Mr. Halliwell was also instrumental in the creation of Citibank subsidiaries in Russia, as well as in the Czech Republic and Poland.
"We're honored to have Steve Halliwell join our team," said NNRF chief executive J. Holt Smith. "With his extensive experience doing business in Russia at the highest levels for three decades, we believe he can prove a great asset to our Company.
"We look forward to working with Steve on a variety of opportunities inside Russia and in sharing positive news on these opportunities very soon."
A fluent reader and speaker of Russian, Mr. Halliwell is the author of several publications on investment, finance and banking trends in that country. He did doctoral level study in Soviet Economics at Columbia University and received the Certificate of Columbia's Harriman Institute for Advanced Studies of the Soviet Union.
Prior to joining Citibank, he was an advisor to the United Nations Center on Transnational Corporations as well as Adjunct Professor of Russian History at Dartmouth College.
