Today the Libra Association announced that Robert Werner has joined as General Counsel. Werner previously reported to incoming Libra CEO Stuart Levey at both the U.S. Treasury and HSBC. Prior to forming his own consulting firm, Werner worked for HSBC in London as Global Head of Financial Crime Compliance, where Levey is Chief Legal Officer.
Before that, Werner held a similar role at Goldman Sachs. That role was preceded by a stint of just over a year at the U.S. Treasury, where he was Senior Counselor to the Under Secretary, Terrorism and Financial Intelligence.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to join the Libra Association as we work to transform the global payments landscape to empower billions of people,” said Mr. Werner who also worked as a director of FinCen.
