It’s Anthony J. Dowd, who is helping Mr. Volcker with his quest to build walls between banks that take deposits and make loans (inside the federal safety net) and those that trade for their own pockets (to be forced outside the federal safety net.)<\/p>\n

Dowd is a former partner in 18-year-old private-equity firm Charter Oak Capital Partners in Westport, Conn.<\/p>\n

A graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1981 with a B.S. degree in Engineering, he served as an officer in the U.S. Army from 1981 to 1986 and then earned an M.B.A degree in Finance. Subsequently, Mr. Dowd was a Senior Associate with James D. Wolfensohn, Inc., a New York investment banking firm where Mr. Volcker worked for a time after leaving his post as chairman of the Federal Reserve.<\/p>\n

Mr. Dowd<\/a> joined Charter Oak in the early 1990s, and is now managing general partner of its international unit. He has served on the boards of many Charter Oak’s private investments and currently serves on the Board of Directors of Revere Industries, LLC; American Church Mortgage Company, LLC; Space Optics Research Lab, LLC; Texcel Medical, LLC, and Circle Medical Devices, LLC.<\/p>\n
