????任職公司：房地美

????今年五月，苦苦掙扎的房地美公司任命億創理財（E*Trade）前CEO唐納德?雷登為公司新任CEO。在此之前，房地美也在走馬燈似的更換CEO：2008年，美國政府接管房地美及其姊妹公司房利美，同年理查德?塞郎離職，由戴維?墨菲特接任；2009年，查爾斯?哈德曼上臺，成為房地美新任CEO。

????雷登在房地美的日子絕不會輕松。首先，他得收拾哈德曼留下的爛攤子，比如減少困難房主的抵押貸款本金。奧巴馬政府對于減少抵押貸款本金非常支持，但房地美和房利美的直屬監管機構美國聯邦住房金融局（Federal Housing Finance Agency）至今仍然極力反對這種做法。

????雷登擔任億創理財CEO之前曾在摩根大通（JPMorgan Chase）工作了30年，這段經歷讓他在金融領域積累了豐富的經驗，希望這些經驗能幫助房地美經受住未來的考驗。房地美前任CEO哈德曼在公布雷登任職的新聞發布會上稱：“我很高興公司董事會能吸引唐納德這樣優秀的私營部門領導人。”而公司董事會接下來要做的就是想方設法留住雷登。

????Company: Freddie Mac

????This past May, former E*Trade CEO Donald Layton took over as CEO of the struggling Freddie Mac. He followed a string of leaders at the company: Freddie's former CEO Charles Haldeman started in 2009, after David Moffett replaced Richard Syron in 2008, the year that the government seized control of Freddie and its larger sibling Fannie Mae.

????Layton has his work cut out for him. For one, he will have to pick up where Haldeman left off on sticky issues like mortgage principal reduction for struggling homeowners, which the Obama Administration favors, but the Federal Housing Finance Agency, Freddie and Fannie's overseeing regulator, still opposes.

????Before Layton was CEO of E*Trade, he worked at JPMorgan Chase for 30 years, which hopefully gave him the kind of financial experience that will allow him to guide Freddie Mac through its challenges going forward. "I'm pleased that the Board was able to attract a private sector leader of Don's caliber," former Freddie CEO Haldeman said in a press release announcing Lymon's hiring. The next step will be to get him to stay a while.
