The Export-Import Bank of the US (Ex-Im Bank) has announced two high-level appointments.
The Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank) announced today that Robert (Bob) Morin has been named the new Senior Vice President for Business and Product Development.
"Bob Morin is one of the most knowledgeable, well-known and respected professionals within the aircraft finance industry," said Ex-Im Bank Chairman and President Fred P. Hochberg. "We are excited to capitalize upon his extraordinary talents to develop relationships, find opportunities, and design and implement products that will enable Ex-Im Bank to support even more U.S. jobs through exports."
Bob Morin was instrumental in the design, development and successful implementation of many of Ex-Im Bank's most successful product and process innovations. These include the Ex-Im Bank Guaranteed Bond program, which has enabled Ex-Im Bank to continue to support U.S. jobs by accessing new sources of funding under its guaranteed financing program, and the "Qualified Advisor" program, which has contributed to the successful achievement, one year early, of Ex-Im Bank's goal of providing at least $1 billion of financing to support the export of business aircraft and helicopters between 2012 and 2014.
Morin joined the Bank in December 1992 as aviation counsel and was named Vice President of the Aircraft Finance Division, the predecessor to the Transportation Division, in 1998. Since Morin joined Ex-Im Bank, the Bank has supported over 600,000 aviation manufacturing-related jobs by providing over $100 billion of export financing in connection with the export of more than 2,000 commercial aircraft, business aircraft and helicopters.
Prior to joining Ex-Im Bank, Morin was in private legal practice in New York, where he represented banks and other financial institutions. Morin has degrees from the Columbia School of Law and the Wharton School of Business and is a certified public accountant.
