Early life and career

Thomas Richard Nides was born to a Jewish family in Duluth, Minnesota, the son of Shirley (née Gavronsky) and Arnold Richard Nides.[3][4][5] He is the youngest of eight children.[6] His father was the founder of Nides Finance, a national consumer finance company, and president of Temple Israel and the Duluth Jewish Federation.[3]

He attended Duluth East High School, where he had an interest in politics. As a senior, he convinced then-Vice President Walter Mondale to speak at the high school graduation.[6] He later graduated from the University of Minnesota with a major in political science.[5][7]

Career

Early political career

During Nides' freshman year of college, he worked as an intern for Mondale.[6] After graduating, he worked on Mondale's 1984 presidential campaign as the Midwest field director.[5][6] Then, from 1986 to 1989, Nides worked for the Majority Whip of the United States House of Representatives, Tony Coelho; among other tasks, he was put in charge of managing House races for the 1986 midterms.[6] After Coelho's resignation, Nides worked in the office of Speaker Tom Foley from 1989 to 1993. In 1994, during the Clinton Administration, he served as chief of staff for United States Trade Representative Mickey Kantor, where he played a crucial role in the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).[6]

In 1994, Nides joined the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) as Senior Vice President, before briefly leaving in 1996 to work at Morgan Stanley.[6] In 1997, he returned to Fannie Mae to resume a new position as Vice President of Human Resources, with him holding this position until 2001.[6] From 2001 to 2004, he was then Chief Administrative Officer of Credit Suisse First Boston, the investment banking division of Zurich-based Credit Suisse Group, and later served for one year as Worldwide President and Chief Executive Officer of Burson-Marsteller.[8] From 2005 to 2010, he was the COO of Morgan Stanley.[7]

After voluntarily leaving his position at the State Department, Nides rejoined Morgan Stanley in March 2013 as managing director and vice chairman.[9][10] He also became a member of Morgan Stanley's Operating and Management Committees with this job.[11]

In 2016, Nides was expected to land a position in Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign, although he declined to join.[14] He was also considered for the role of White House Chief of Staff by Hillary Clinton had she won that year's presidential election.[15]
