Susan M. Collins is president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, one of the regional reserve banks in the Federal Reserve System, the U.S. central bank. In this role, Collins serves on the Federal Open Market Committee, the monetary policymaking body of the United States (as a voting member in the rotation in 2022). As CEO, Collins oversees all of the bank’s activities, including economic research and analysis; banking supervision and financial stability efforts; community economic development activities; and a wide range of payments, technology, and finance initiatives.

Prior to leading the Boston Fed, Collins was provost and executive vice president for academic affairs at the University of Michigan. In that role, she was the chief academic and budget officer, responsible for overseeing all academic programming and budget planning. She was also the Edward M. Gramlich Collegiate Professor of Public Policy and Professor of Economics. Collins came to Michigan in 2007, serving for a decade as the Joan and Sanford Weill Dean of the university’s Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy. As she stepped down as provost, Michigan’s Board of Regents awarded her a Regents’ Citation of Honor for her dedication and service to the university. She retains the designation of a professor at the university, on unpaid leave.

Collins contributed previously within the Federal Reserve System, serving for nine years on the Board of Directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago (three of those years as a director for the Detroit branch), starting in 2013.

Collins earned a Ph.D. in economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology after graduating from Harvard University summa cum laude, with a bachelor’s degree in economics. Her published research has focused on the determinants of economic growth and exchange rate regimes, and the implications for economic performance. She has also explored the implications of global integration for U.S. labor markets, persistent macroeconomic imbalances, and countries’ economic transformations.

Susan M. Collins is a naturalized U.S. citizen of Jamaican descent, born in Scotland and raised in New York City. She is married to Dr. Donald R. Vereen, Jr., MD, MPH; and they have two adult children.
