In 1988 he was the national campaign director for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee In addition, he served as a senior advisor and chief fundraiser for Richard M. Daley in 1989 and as a senior advisor to Bill Clinton. After his stay in the Clinton White House he went into investment banking where he worked as managing director of Wasserstein Perella & Co./Dresdner Kleinwort where it is reported he made $8million over his three years.

My take- Obama really stuck to his guns on this one picking a Democrat from Chicago is really diversifying his cabinet.
